The sensing end is PA12, the housing is nickel‑plated brass, and the unit is unshielded with a total length of 54.5 mm, mounted via M12x1 threading; it carries IP68 protection and a broad ambient temperature range of -25°C to +70°C, suitable for steel mounting in demanding environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey characteristics include Sn = 4 mm with Sa = 0...3.2 mm, three‑wire DC operation, reverse polarity and short‑circuit protection, and a 24 V‑based operating context typical for Balluff inductive sensors; these specs align with standard industrial automation requirements for presence and position sensing on conveyors, tooling, and robotic setups where ferrous targets are involved. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Balluff","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51676450554158,"sku":null,"price":87.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_9bd25e4c-6eba-42c2-95f9-7c4163ef17e7.jpg?v=1769551487","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/balluff-bes-516-357-e5-y-s4-inductive-proximity-sensor","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
