Balluff BES-516-367-BO-C-PU Inductive Proximity Sensor

Balluff BES-516-367-BO-C-PU is an 18 mm flush-mount inductive proximity sensor in the BES 516 family, delivering an 8 mm sensing range for reliable detection of metallic targets in tight spaces such as mounting recesses and machine frames. It operates from 10–30 V DC and provides a PNP normally closed (NC) switching output, enabling straightforward integration into standard automation circuits and PLC logic. The sensor's brass, nickel-plated housing and PBT sensing surface are built for durability, while an IP68 rating protects against dust and water ingress in harsh manufacturing environments. Designed for flush installation with an M18x1 thread, it uses a PUR jacket cable connection to withstand industrial wiring conditions. The unit is rated for an ambient temperature range of -25 to 70 °C, making it suitable for a wide range of factory applications from conveyors to end-of-travel sensing on automated equipment.
