It operates on 10–30 V DC and provides a PNP normally-open output in a three-wire configuration, with a maximum load current of 200 mA. The rugged housing is nickel-plated brass with a PA12 sensing face and measures Ø18 x 76.5 mm, designed for flush mounting in industrial environments. It is IP68 protected against dust and immersion, and includes polarity reversal and short-circuit protection for reliable operation in harsh settings. The unit ships with a PVC-jacketed cable assembly (3 conductors) at a 2.0 m length, suitable for straightforward wiring in automation lines. Key electrical and performance data include Sn = 5 mm, Sa = 0–4 mm, a switching frequency up to about 900 Hz, and a static voltage drop near 1.5 V, making it capable of rapid position sensing on conveyors, machines, and fixtures. The BES 516-326-BO-C is designed for DC operation in industrial control schemes (DC 13 utilization) and complies with relevant standards, including a rated insulation voltage of 250 V AC and an operating temperature range of -25 to +70°C, ensuring dependable sensing across typical manufacturing environments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Balluff","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51676457107758,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_8fa226ac-260d-4a6a-b072-59c1a232055f.jpg?v=1769551488","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/balluff-bes-516-326-bo-c-inductive-proximity-switch","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
