Balluff BES M08MH1-PSC15B-S04G Inductive Sensor

Balluff BES M08MH1-PSC15B-S04G is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor (M8 form factor) with a flush-mount housing, measuring Ø 8 x 65 mm, built to detect metallic targets at close range in compact automation layouts. It has a nominal sensing distance Sn of 1.5 mm and a normally-open PNP output, making it suitable for straightforward on/off position sensing. The unit operates from 12 to 30 V DC and can switch up to 100 mA, with a no-load current around 10 mA and a voltage drop of about 3 V, while offering short-circuit protection and polarity reversal protection. Its housing is nickel-plated brass with a PBT sensing face, and it bears an IP67 rating for robust protection against dust and water in challenging environments. The M12-based S4 connector supports easy field wiring, and the design is optimized for flush mounting in tight spaces. This model is cataloged as BES0027 (BES M08MH1-PSC15B-S04G) by Balluff, and the datasheet confirms the key specifications including 12–30 V DC supply, 1.5 mm range, and the 65 mm length.
