Encased in a Ø12 x 70 mm stainless‑steel housing with a non‑flush installation style, it carries an IP68 rating for rugged industrial environments and operates from −40 to 85 °C. Powered by 10–30 V DC, it provides a DC normally open (NPN) output rated up to 200 mA, with a static voltage drop near 2.5 V and a switching frequency up to 2,500 Hz; maximum load capacitance is 0.5 µF. Key electrical characteristics include hysteresis up to 15% of the sensing distance Sr, repeat accuracy up to 5%, and a Ui insulation rating of 250 V, with protection against miswiring and cULus and CE approvals. The sensing surface is made from LCP, and the device adheres to IEC 60947-5-2 standards for industrial proximity sensors. Typical applications include metal part detection on conveyors, robotic grippers, automated machinery, and safety\/position sensing in harsh production lines where a compact, stainless‑steel induction sensor is required. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Balluff","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51676473917742,"sku":null,"price":218.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_61e906ec-db15-4563-8302-993bf38b7db4.jpg?v=1769551491","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/balluff-bes-516-357-s-4-c-inductive-proximity-switch","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
