Encased in a 12 mm-diameter M12x1 body (Ø12 × 45 mm), it detects metal targets with a nominal sensing range of 4 mm and provides a PNP normally open switching output suitable for direct interfacing with logic inputs and PLCs. The device is cataloged as BES00PY and is intended for use in applications such as end-of-travel detection, part presence sensing on conveyors, and tool-change monitoring on machines, where a small, robust sensor is required. Real switching performance is defined by a real switching distance sr of 4 mm, an assured operating distance Sa of 3.2 mm, a hysteresis of 15% of Sr, and a temperature drift up to 10% of Sr, with tolerance Sr ±10% for consistent repeatability across cycles. Construction-wise, the housing is brass with a nickel-free coating and a sensing face of PBT, delivering reliable operation in industrial environments without requiring special maintenance. The flush-mount design plus the M12x1 connection provides a compact, easy-to-integrate sensing solution for metal-detection tasks on production lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BALLUFF","offers":[{"title":"Used Surplus - Excellent Condition","offer_id":51676457238830,"sku":null,"price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_7339e529-a607-4fbf-b224-d98a48c51e19.jpg?v=1769551488","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/balluff-bes-516-325-g-e5-c-s4-inductive-proximity-sensor","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
