Balluff BES 516-327-G-E4-Y-PU-05 Inductive Sensor

Balluff BES 516-327-G-E4-Y-PU-05 is a shielded cylindrical inductive proximity sensor in an M30 housing (Ø30 x 36 mm) designed for flush mounting on metal surfaces. It delivers a nominal sensing distance Sn of 15 mm with an assured distance Sa of 12 mm (real switching distance approximately 15 mm) and 15% hysteresis, making it suitable for precise metal-detection tasks in automated equipment. The sensor uses a brass, nickel-plated housing with a PA12 sensing face and a PUR cable jacket, and it ships with a 5 m PUR cable (Ø 4.60 mm, 3 conductors, 0.34 mm²). It operates on 10–30 V DC and provides a PNP normally open output rated up to 130 mA, with a static voltage drop around 3.8 V and a switching frequency of 100 Hz. Environmental and mounting specs include IP68 protection, operating temperature range −25 to 70 °C, mounting length 30 mm, and M30x1.5 thread with a torque requirement up to 70 Nm; the device is intended for flush-mount detection of metal targets in automation lines. The order code is BES00RU.
