Balluff BES-516-211-E4-E-03 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Balluff BES-516-211-E4-E-03 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor (M18) that detects metal targets with a 5 mm sensing distance, offering a normally open (NO) output and a 2‑wire connection. This variant uses a 3 m PVC‑insulated cable for easy integration into industrial lines, and its housing is brass, nickel‑plated CuZn‑Ni with a PA12 front, rated IP67 for rugged environments. It operates from a 110 V AC supply and draws up to 250 mA, with a nominal switching frequency of 250 Hz, and an ambient operating range of -25 to +70 °C. The compact M18 form factor and 3 m lead make it suitable for conveyor and automation applications where reliable metal detection is required, such as verifying part presence, counting cycles, or triggering downstream equipment. This BES-516-211-E4-E-03 is part of Balluff’s BES028L family, which features a 5 mm action zone, 3 m PVC cable, and robust enclosure design for industrial settings.
