Balluff BES 516-3044-G-E4-C-S49-00.3 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Balluff BES 516-3044-G-E4-C-S49-00.3 is a compact flush-mount inductive proximity sensor with a Ø3 x 27 mm stainless‑steel housing and a 0.3 m cable terminated with an M8 connector. It operates from 10 to 30 V DC and provides a three‑wire PNP normally-open output rated to 100 mA, suitable for DC loads, with a nominal switching distance of 1 mm (Sn) and an assured operating range Sa of 0 to 0.8 mm; its real switching distance sr is 1 mm and it exhibits about 15% hysteresis. The sensing face is made of PBT and the jacket of PUR, designed for flush mounting in metal environments, with a maximum switching frequency up to 5 kHz and an ambient temperature range of 0 to 70°C; the sensor carries an IP67 rating for dust and water protection. Part of Balluff's BES 516 family, the BES00M5 variant is identified by the order code BES00M5 and is suitable for automated sensing tasks where a small, robust, contactless detector is required in tight spaces.
