Balluff BES-516-324-G-S49-C Inductive Proximity Sensor

Balluff BES-516-324-G-S49-C is a flush-mount, M8x1 threaded inductive proximity sensor in a stainless-steel housing (Ø8 x 55 mm) with a PBT sensing surface, designed to detect metal targets at a nominal distance of 2 mm while maintaining an assured distance Sa of 1.6 mm and a real switching distance sr of 2 mm. The sensor features a PNP normally-open (NO) output and operates on 10–30 V DC, with an IP68 rating and an operating temperature range of -40 to 85°C, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. Its mounting length is 43.0 mm for flush installation, and the 8 mm diameter, 55 mm length body aligns with the BES 516 family, delivering reliable, contactless metal detection in compact spaces.
