Measuring Ø18 x 65 mm with an M18x1 thread, it detects ferrous targets at a nominal distance Sn of 5 mm, with an assured operating distance Sa of 0–4 mm, and delivers a 3-wire PNP normally-open output. It operates on a DC supply of 10–30 V and draws up to 200 mA, with built-in short-circuit protection and reverse-polarity tolerance typical of Balluff devices. The housing is CuZn with PTFE coating and a sensing face made of LCP with PTFE, providing IP67 protection for durability in industrial environments. The S4 connector denotes a 4-pin M12 interface for reliable wiring, and this variant is marketed as magnetic-field-resistant to maintain performance in environments with stray magnetic fields. Common applications include inline metal sensing on conveyors, clamps, and automated assemblies where a compact, flush-mounted sensor is required in challenging surroundings, making it a direct fit for metal-detection tasks where space is limited and robustness is essential. The BES 516-326-SA96-S4-W configuration offers a proven 5 mm sensing distance, sturdy 65 mm housing, and a 10–30 V DC supply range, aligning with standard industrial control schematics for DC-proximity sensing in automation systems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BALLUFF","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51676456976686,"sku":null,"price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_3e6f6d97-0f5f-47a9-a945-2c4d3c1c28a3.jpg?v=1769551489","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/balluff-bes-516-326-sa96-s4-w-inductive-sensor","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
