Balluff BGL220A-001-S49 Fork Sensor

Balluff BGL220A-001-S49 Fork Sensor is a through-beam, fork-style photoelectric sensor in Balluff’s BGL0010 family. It uses a red LED light beam and provides a PNP output, allowing it to signal PLC inputs when the beam is interrupted. The model is specified for a 30 mm sensing distance and is described in Balluff documentation as a fork-through-beam sensor. With emitter and receiver housed in a fork configuration, it detects the presence or absence of an object passing between the beams without contact. Typical applications include part-presence detection on conveyors and in automated assembly lines where reliable, non-contact sensing is required. The BGL0010 family designation confirms this model’s role as a compact, block-style fork sensor designed for through-beam operation.
