Balluff BES 516-360-B0-C-05 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Balluff BES 516-360-B0-C-05 is an inductive proximity sensor designed for non‑contact detection of metal targets in automation environments. It operates on a DC supply of 10 to 30 V and switches output when a nearby metal object enters its field, enabling reliable position sensing on conveyors, robotic work cells, and automated assemblies. The sensor offers a nominal sensing distance (Sn) of 8 mm with an assured operating distance (Sa) of 6.5 mm, providing repeatable response for compact automation layouts. Typical use cases include end‑of‑travel sensing, part presence detection on metal components, and general metal‑target detection in factory equipment, where a rugged, non‑wearing sensing solution is advantageous.
