Balluff Bes-516-362-E5-Y-S4 Proximity Sensor

Balluff BES00Y0 (BES 516-362-E5-Y-S4) is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor in an M30 housing with a 15 mm sensing range and a PNP normally open output. The cylindrical body measures Ø 30 mm by 57 mm and uses a brass, nickel-plated housing with a PA12 sensing face, designed for non-flush installation. It carries a 4-pin M12x1 connector for quick, field-ready wiring and operates on 10–30 V DC. The sensor is rated for -25 to 70 °C ambient temperatures and is protected to IP67, making it suitable for industrial environments where rugged metal detection is needed. Balluff lists the part as CE, UKCA, and cULus approved, with the BES00Y0 ordering code corresponding to the BES 516-362-E5-Y-S4 variant. This device’s inductive sensing technology provides reliable switching for standard automation tasks, serving as a compact, maintenance-friendly sensor in machine tools, packaging lines, and material-handling equipment.
