Balluff BES516-300-S-166-PU-5 Proximity Switch

The Balluff BES516-300-S166-PU-5 Proximity Switch is a compact inductive sensor in a 40 × 8 × 8 mm zinc‑die‑cast housing designed for flush‑mount installations. It delivers a 1.5 mm sensing range on metal targets with a PNP normally open (NO) output, powered from 10 to 30 V DC and wired with a 5 m PUR cable for durable, flexible connections. The sensing face is PBT, the housing is IP67 protected for rugged, washdown environments, and the unit is built for fast response with a switching frequency up to 5,000 Hz. This Balluff BES017Y family member combines a small footprint with robust construction, making it suitable for tight spaces on automated lines, packaging machinery, and other industrial equipment where metal object detection is required. Operating temperature extends from –25 to 70 °C, enabling reliable performance across common factory conditions.
