Balluff BGL50A-001-S49 Photoelectric Slot Sensor

Balluff BGL50A-001-S49 is a photoelectric slot sensor in Balluff's BGL50A family, engineered to detect the presence or passage of parts through its 50 mm wide sensing slot and provide reliable, non-contact sensing in compact automation spaces. It operates from a 10 to 30 V DC supply, enabling straightforward integration with standard industrial control systems and wiring. In Balluff's product catalog, this model is identified as BGL50A-001-S49 and is also listed under the BGL001J designation, linking the same device to multiple catalog entries. The slot-style design places the emitter and receiver elements in a narrow gap, allowing installation with minimal space while maintaining robustness in typical factory environments. With Balluff's heritage in industrial sensing, the BGL50A-001-S49 delivers repeatable presence detection within its 50 mm slot width and 10-30 V DC operation, making it a practical choice wherever a compact, non-contact switch substitute is desired in automation systems.
