Balluff BNS 813-FR-60-186 Inductive Proximity Switch

Balluff BNS 813-FR-60-186 is a mechanical single-position limit switch with a roller actuator and safety contacts, designed for machine safety circuits in industrial automation. Housed in an aluminum, anodized enclosure measuring 74 x 28 x 74 mm, it uses a screw-terminal connection and provides a single switching position via a roller contact. The device is IP67 protected, operates in ambient temperatures from -5 to 85 °C, and accepts a longitudinal approach direction parallel to the mounting surface with an approach speed up to 60 m/min. Its output is rated for up to 6 A at 250 V AC, and it carries safety-oriented features compliant with EN 60204-1, along with conformity marks including CE, UKCA, CCC, and WEEE. Identified by order code BNS0030 and model designation BNS 813-FR-60-186, this Balluff switch is suited for stop-detect and limit-position roles in automated lines, conveyors, and packaging equipment where a robust mechanical safety interlock is required.
