Balluff BES 516-300-S162-S4-D Inductive Proximity Sensor

Balluff BES 516-300-S162-S4-D is a flush-mount, pressure-rated inductive proximity sensor with a 12 mm sensing diameter and a 69 mm stainless-steel housing (Ø12 x 69 mm). It uses a 4-pin M12x1 connector and provides a PNP normally open switching output at 10–30 VDC, with Sn = 1.5 mm and Sa = 1.2 mm, and real sr = 1.5 mm with hysteresis up to 15% of Sr. It is designed for high-pressure environments, rated to 500 bar and oil-pressure compatible, with EP sensing surface, and an operating temperature range of -25 to 80 C, IP68 sealing. The BES 516-300-S162-S4-D is the Balluff ordering code BHS0021, part of the BES 516 series known for flush-mounted, stainless-steel, pressure-rated inductive sensors used in hydraulic and industrial automation applications.
