Balluff BES M18MI-PSC50B-S04K Proximity Sensor

Balluff BES M18MI-PSC50B-S04K is a barrel‑style inductive proximity sensor (M18 x 1) with flush‑mount installation and a 5 mm sensing range. It delivers a PNP normally open (NO) switching output and operates on 12–30 V DC, drawing up to 200 mA. The rugged housing is brass with a nickel‑plated finish and a PA12 sensing face, rated IP68 for protection against dust and water intrusion, and it uses a 4‑pin M12 connector for compact wiring. With a 700 Hz switching frequency, it suits high‑speed automation on conveyors, machining lines, and other industrial equipment where a compact, flush mount sensor is required. The design targets metal detection and position sensing in harsh environments, and the S04K variant is part of Balluff’s BES inductive sensor family, compatible with standard industrial control circuits and easy integration into existing Balluff ecosystems.
