It operates on 10–30 V DC and provides a PNP normally-open (NO) switching output, ideal for detecting metal targets in tight spaces. The sensing range is 1.5 mm, and the device ships with a 5 m PUR cable for flexible installation. Designed for harsh environments, it features IP68 protection and an operating temperature range from -40 to 85 °C; the housing is stainless steel and the active sensing face is made of PBT. The sensor supports up to 5000 Hz switching frequency, making it suitable for high-speed automation applications. Although listed as BES 516-371-E0-C-05, catalog pages also reference BES 516-371-EO-C-PU-05, indicating the same hardware across variant naming; the BES01KE designation appears in related product listings. Common uses include precise position sensing on conveyors, robotic end-effectors, and inline presence checks where a small, flush-mounted metal-sensing solution is required. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Balluff","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51676456288558,"sku":null,"price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_0b298d4a-f49f-4ff6-8be9-136b78fe0c94.jpg?v=1769551488","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/balluff-bes-516-371-e0-c-05-inductive-proximity-sensor","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
