Balluff BES 516-371-SA-10-03 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor with a 6.5 mm nickel‑plated CuZnNi housing and a PBT sensing face. It operates on 10–30 V DC and delivers a 3‑wire, PNP, normally open (NO) output, capable of switching up to 200 mA. The unit uses a 3 m PUR‑cable with three conductors for DC operation, and it offers a nominal sensing distance of 1.5 mm. Rated IP67, it is designed for harsh industrial environments and a temperature range of –25 to +70 °C. This Balluff sensor is commonly used for metal-detection tasks such as position sensing, end‑of‑travel detection, and basic machine interlocks in compact automation applications.
