{"product_id":"balluff-bes-516-383-e4-c-pu-05-inductive-proximity-sensor","title":"Balluff BES 516-383-E4-C-PU-05 Inductive Proximity Sensor","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eBES 516-383-E4-C-PU-05, Balluff's compact inductive proximity sensor, comes in a cylindrical M8x1 housing measuring Ø8 x 30 mm for tight spaces. It detects metal targets up to 2.5 mm away with a PNP normally open output and operates from a 10–30 V DC supply, making it suitable for clean, simple wiring in automation panels. The sensor uses a PUR cable, 5 m long, for flexible installation, and is designed for non-flush mounting (non-embeddable installation) in industrial environments. The metal housing and IP68 enclosure rating provide robust protection against dust and water ingress, while polarity reversal protection helps prevent damage from miswiring. The BES011K variant corresponds to the 516-383-E4-C-PU-05 ordering code and is CE, UL\/cUL, and EAC approved in many markets, aligning with Balluff's standard safety and interoperability standards. Typical applications include presence or position sensing of metal components in limited spaces, end-of-travel sensing on conveyors or machining stations, and general automation tasks where a compact M8 proximity sensor is required. With a short response time suitable for high-speed switching, this sensor offers a reliable, maintenance-friendly solution for compact automation challenges that demand direct metal-target detection without complex mounting. The combination of a solid metal housing, robust IP68 protection, and a 5-meter PUR cable makes it a practical choice for OEM equipment and automation retrofits where space is at a premium. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BALLUFF","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51676476342574,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_072ded19-40be-49f3-9581-85d8ba79ec83.jpg?v=1769551491","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/balluff-bes-516-383-e4-c-pu-05-inductive-proximity-sensor","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
