Balluff BES004N-M12MG-PSC80F-S04G Proximity Sensor

The Balluff BES004N-M12MG-PSC80F-S04G is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor (M12x1 housing) that detects metal targets within an 8 mm range, enabling compact, non‑contact sensing in tight spaces. Its Ø12 x 60 mm body and 4‑pin M12 connector with an A‑coded arrangement deliver a PNP normally open output suitable for Ub 10–30 V DC operation and Ie up to 200 mA. This sensor is IP68 rated for harsh environments and operates across −25 °C to 70 °C, with polarity reversal protection and a static voltage drop around 1.5 V; it also supports a switching frequency up to 1000 Hz and a ready delay (tv max) of 21 ms. Electrical conformity includes CE/UKCA markings, with a DC‑13 utilization category and a rated insulation voltage Ui of 250 V AC, underscoring safety and compatibility in industrial control circuits. Reliability data indicate an MTTF of about 640 years at 40 °C, reflecting Balluff’s emphasis on long‑term industrial performance. Common applications include positioning and presence sensing on metal components in conveyors, automated assembly lines, and other machinery where a robust, compact inductive sensor is required.
