Balluff BES516-3007-G-E4-C-S4-00-2 Inductive Sensor

The Balluff BES516-3007-G-E4-C-S4-00-2 is a compact, flush-mount inductive proximity sensor designed to detect metal targets without contact in tight automation spaces. Its stainless-steel, Ø4 x 27 mm housing fits flush into slim assemblies, with a 1.5 mm nominal sensing distance and a 4‑pin M12x1 A‑coded connector delivering a PNP normally open (NO) switch output. The unit operates on 10–30 V DC, draws up to 100 mA, and ships with a 0.2 m PUR cable for quick wiring, while offering IP67 protection for use in harsh environments. Key performance specs include a switching frequency up to 5,000 Hz and a ready delay up to 21 ms, along with short‑circuit protection and CE, cULus, and EAC approvals, making it suitable for metal-detection, position sensing, and end‑of‑travel applications in compact machinery and conveyor systems.
