Balluff BNS 819-FE-60-101-FD Mechanical Position Switch

The Balluff BNS 819-FE-60-101-FD Mechanical Position Switch is a compact, single-position limit switch designed for end-of-travel and position sensing in automation equipment. Housed in a 74 × 28 × 76.5 mm aluminum anodized housing, it uses a single mechanical switching point with a snap-contact output and an E-chisel plunger. The unit delivers up to 6 A at 250 VAC and can be installed in any orientation, with support for lateral or right-angled mounting and a screw-terminal connection for easy wiring. It operates from -5 to 85 °C and carries IP67 protection to resist dust and water ingress in harsh environments. Compliance covers CE, UKCA, CCC, and WEEE, making it suitable for international installations. The BNS000P base model is also offered with LED indicators (FD or FE variants) for function signaling, aligning with Balluff’s mechanical cam switch family; the same dimensional and electrical characteristics are reflected across regional product pages. Common applications include limit detection and end-of-travel sensing on conveyors, machine tools, and other automated equipment, where a reliable mechanical switch is required to signal a known position and trigger downstream control logic.
