Balluff BESM05ED-PSD05B-ES02-T01 Inductive Sensor

Balluff BES M05ED-PSD05B-ES02-T01 (BES02J2) is a compact M5 inductive sensor with a 0.5 mm nominal sensing distance, housed in a Ø5 × 27 mm stainless-steel body designed for flush mounting. It features a three‑wire DC output with PNP normally open switching, operates from 10 to 30 V DC, and can drive up to 150 mA with a typical no‑load current around 10 mA and about 1 V voltage drop. The sensing face is PA 6, and the unit is IP67 protected for harsh industrial environments. Core specifications include Sn = 0.5 mm, Sa (assured) = 0…0.4 mm, repeatability ≈ 5%, and hysteresis ≈ 15%. The sensor is DC 13 compatible and includes polarity reversal and short‑circuit protection, with a 10 ms delay before becoming available after power is applied. Designed for temperature‑rated operation up to 120°C ambient, this sensor suits compact machine ends, end‑of‑stroke sensing, and metal‑presence detection on small actuators in automation systems.
