Balluff BES00ZU BES 516-371-G-E5-C-S49 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Balluff BES00ZU (BES 516-371-G-E5-C-S49) is a compact flush‑mount inductive proximity sensor with a 2 mm sensing range, delivered in a Ø6.5 x 45 mm stainless‑steel housing and 33 mm mounting length for tight installations. It provides a PNP normally open output and operates from 10 to 30 V DC, with a switching frequency up to 5000 Hz, making it suitable for fast automation cycles. The sensing surface is PBT, the unit is IP68 and rated for harsh environments with an operating temperature range from -40 °C to 85 °C, ensuring reliable operation in demanding industrial settings. The device features a 3‑pin M8x1 connector and offers Sn of 2 mm (with sr ~2 mm and Sa ~1.6 mm), which reflects consistent sensing performance within its rated range. Ideal for flush installations on metal fixtures, conveyors, or compact control panels, this Balluff sensor is designed for industries requiring precise metal detection in constrained spaces without sacrificing robustness or durability.
