Balluff BES 516-361-B0-C is a cylindrical inductive proximity switch (M18) designed to detect metal targets without contact in automation equipment. It operates on a 10–30 V DC supply and draws up to 200 mA, with a nominal sensing distance of 8 mm. Housed in an IP67 enclosure, the sensor suits harsh industrial environments and is commonly used for metal-presence sensing, end‑of‑travel or position-detection tasks on conveyors and automated lines. The BES 516-361-B0-C family is offered in multiple cable-length and output configurations (including some variants with NPN/NO outputs), enabling integration with a wide range of controllers and wiring schemes.
