The Balluff BES 516-324-E4-C-S4-00,5 is a flush-mount inductive proximity sensor in an M8 cylindrical package ( Ø 8 x 30 mm) with a stainless-steel housing and a PBT sensing face, designed for compact metal-detection tasks in automation. It operates from 10 to 30 V DC with a PNP normally-open output, draws up to 200 mA, and offers a nominal sensing distance (Sn) of 1.5 mm (assured distance Sa 1.2 mm), wired via a 0.50 m PUR cable with an M12x1 connector. The device is IP68 rated, supports flush mounting, and specifies an ambient temperature range of -25 to 70 C, a depth of 30 mm, mounting length of 29 mm, and polarity-reversal protection for rugged industrial use.
