Balluff BES516-420-E4-L5 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Balluff BES516-420-E4-L5 is a flush‑mount, M18 inductive proximity sensor from Balluff that detects metal targets within a 5 mm sensing range. It offers a normally open output and is wired with a 5 m PVC cable for straightforward integration into control circuits operating on 20–250 VAC. The sensor measures Ø18 x 56 mm with an M18x1 mounting thread, and its brass, nickel‑plated housing plus PA12 sensing surface provide durable performance in harsh industrial environments. Rated IP67 and operable from -25 to 70 °C, it is suitable for use in conveyors, end‑of‑line assemblies, and general position sensing in automation lines. Certifications include CE, cULus, EAC, and WEEE, reflecting global compliance. As part of Balluff’s BES 516 series, the BES516-420-E4-L5 delivers a robust, non‑contact switch solution for metal presence detection, end‑travel positioning, and interlock‑style applications in rugged manufacturing settings.
