Balluff BES02WR Proximity Sensor

The Balluff BES02WR is a compact, 12 mm diameter inductive proximity sensor with an M12 3‑pin connection, designed for non‑contact detection of metal targets. It operates on 10–30 V DC and provides a PNP normally open (NO) switching output. With a nominal sensing distance of 10 mm (sn = 10 mm) and an overall length of 60 mm, it fits neatly into tight mounting spaces on conveyors, fixtures, and machine tools. The model is identified by the order code BES M12MF1-PSC10F-S04G. Balluff’s BES02WR is built for industrial environments, delivering reliable metal detection without mechanical wear. The sensor enables straightforward wiring to standard automation controllers and PLC inputs, supporting common automation practices such as end‑of‑travel sensing and presence detection in metal‑processing and packaging lines. The M12 connector and 3‑pin configuration simplify integration into existing control schemas, and the 10–30 V DC supply range makes it compatible with most control voltage rails in modern factories.
