Balluff BES 516-325-BO-C-PU Proximity Sensor

Balluff BES 516-325-BO-C-PU is a flush-mount inductive proximity sensor housed in a rugged stainless-steel M12x1 body for metal-target sensing with a 2 mm detection range. It delivers a PNP normally open (NO) switching output and operates from 10–30 V DC, with a switching frequency up to 3,000 Hz to handle rapid sensor tasks on automation equipment. The sensing surface is PA12, and the compact Ø12 x 60 mm chassis is designed for quiet installation on metal surfaces. A 5 m PUR cable provides flexible wiring, and the unit is IP68 rated for protection against dust and water ingress, capable of enduring harsh industrial environments within an operating temperature range of -25 to 70 °C. CE marked and part of Balluff’s inductive sensor family, this model offers reliable metal-detection performance in automation applications where precise, flush-mounted sensing and robust construction are required.
