Balluff BNS-819-016 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Balluff BNS-819-016 Inductive Proximity Sensor is a compact, non-contact position switch from Balluff’s BNS 819 family that uses inductive sensing to detect metal targets in automation equipment. As a mechanical multi-position switch, it provides discrete sensing positions within a single housing for limit-switch style tasks on conveyors, tooling, and automated assemblies, with an LED status indicator to show the active state. The BNS 819 family centers on an inductive active principle, delivering wear-free switching in a durable, space‑efficient package that can be mounted using standard fixing dimensions. The series is designed for demanding environments, offering IP67 protection and resistance to aggressive cooling lubricants. Variants in the BNS-819 line include 12‑mm and 16‑mm sensing-distance options (D12 and D16), with connector configurations such as S80R and S80L in 5‑pin formats to suit left- or right-hand mounting. This exact model, BNS-819-016, represents the 16‑mm variant within the range, intended for precise position detection in tight spaces where metal targets are present, delivering reliable switching without wear in classic machine-automation applications.
