Balluff BESM08MI-PSC20B-BP00.2-GS04 Inductive Sensor

The Balluff BESM08MI-PSC20B-BP00.2-GS04 is a compact cylindrical inductive sensor (M08) with a 2 mm rated sensing distance, designed for flush mounting and PNP normally-open switching output. It features a brass, nickel-free housing with a PUR jacket, a PBT sensing surface, and an Ø8 x 50 mm body with an M8x1 mounting thread and a 3 Nm tightening torque for secure panel or surface installation. The device operates from a 10–30 V DC supply (nominally 12 or 24 V) and provides a PNP NO output capable of handling typical sensor loads; its real switching distance is 2 mm, with Sa (assured distance) of 1.6 mm, repeat accuracy up to 5% of Sr, and a temperature drift up to 10% of Sr. The GS04 variant is pre-wired with a 20 cm pigtail terminated by a 4-pin M12 A-coded connector, simplifying integration into automation or robotics setups. Ideal applications include metal-detection tasks such as position sensing, end-stop/limit sensing, and compact people-macking where flush-mounted sensing in tight spaces is required.
