Balluff BES M08EE-PSC20B-S04G-003 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Balluff BES M08EE-PSC20B-S04G-003 is a compact inductive proximity sensor in an M8 threaded barrel that detects ferrous metal targets at a 0–2 mm range. It features a PNP normally-open (NO) switch output and a 10–30 V DC supply, drawing up to 200 mA, making it suitable for tight-space sensing on automation equipment. The sensor's Ø8 x 43 mm housing uses an M8x1 thread and is designed for flush mounting, with an IP67 protection rating for use in dusty or wet environments. It accepts a wired M12 male connection for easy integration into control circuits. This model is cataloged as BES00FC (order code BES00FC) and is described by Balluff as BES M08EE-PSC20B-S04G-003; its datasheet confirms the 2 mm sensing range and PNP NO output. The documented operating range, environmental specs, and mechanical ruggedness include a temperature tolerance from -25 to 70 °C, plus shock and vibration resistance per EN 60068-2-27 and EN 60068-2-6, respectively. Ideal for metal-part presence sensing, end-of-travel detection, and replacement of mechanical switches in compact automation, conveyors, and robotics where a small, rugged, flush-mounted sensor is required.
