Balluff BGL 30A-001-S49 Photoelectric Fork Sensor

Balluff BGL 30A-001-S49 Photoelectric Fork Sensor (BGL0016) is a rugged metal fork‑shaped slot detector designed for inline presence sensing in tight spaces. It measures 10 x 50 x 68 mm with a 30 mm wide fork opening, providing a compact form factor that fits into narrow automation fixtures. The sensor operates as a slot‑type photoelectric device with PNP outputs configurable as normally open or normally closed (NO/NC), enabling straightforward wiring to common controllers. Its metal housing and precise fork geometry are tailored for reliable part detection where objects pass through or sit within the fork, making it suitable for conveyor feeds, fixture sensing, and other slot‑based automation tasks that require precise, gap‑limited sensing.
