Balluff BGL 30A-001-S49 Photoelectric Fork Sensor

Balluff BGL 30A-001-S49 is a metal-bodied fork photoelectric sensor with a 30 mm fork opening and a compact 10 x 50 x 68 mm housing. The fork-style sensor detects when a part passes through the slot, providing a dependable signal for slot or gap monitoring in compact automation layouts. It offers a PNP switching output with NO/NC configuration, allowing either normally open or normally closed operation, and it is powered from 10 to 30 V DC. Wiring is via a 3-pin M8 x 1 connector, and a red LED indicator shows sensing status for quick setup in busy lines. The unit is part of Balluff's metal-bodied BGL fork sensor family and uses a robust enclosure for industrial environments. Dimensions confirm a 30 mm fork width and the specified enclosure size of 10 x 50 x 68 mm. For customers requiring digital connectivity, Balluff also offers the 30A-101-S49 IO-Link variant, enabling integration with IO-Link masters while preserving the same 30 mm sensing geometry. This model is well suited to perform reliable presence checks in equipment where precise slot monitoring is essential.
