Balluff BES Q08ZC-PSC20B-BV03 Inductive Sensor

BES Q08ZC-PSC20B-BV03 is a compact, 8x8 mm inductive proximity sensor from Balluff’s BES family, designed for flush mounting in panels and tight machinery spaces. The square housing measures 40 x 8 x 8 mm and provides a nominal sensing distance Sn of 2 mm with an assured distance Sa of 0...1.6 mm, and it features a PNP normally-open (NO) output on a 3‑wire DC interface. It operates from 10–30 VDC (typical 24 V) and can switch up to 200 mA, with a LiYY-O cable installed for DC sensing. The unit is shielded and rated IP65, suitable for dusty environments and washdown-like exposure, and the sensing face is PA12 for durability in metal-detection tasks. Designed for flush mounting, it fits compact automation layouts and is ideal for end‑of‑travel sensing, metal presence checks on conveyors, and general position sensing in automation lines where a robust DC switching sensor is required.
