The cylindrical housing measures Ø18 mm by 87 mm and supports M3 screw mounting or an M18x1 nut, with a maximum tightening torque of 1.5 Nm. It uses a red LED at 660 nm and tolerates ambient light up to 5000 lux, with switching configured for light\/dark operation and a light-on response. The amplifier provides two PNP outputs (NO‑NC on pins 4‑2), enabling direct interfacing to typical PLC inputs, and the sensing range depends on the connected fiber optics. Balluff positions fiber‑optic devices as a solution when conventional optosensors are too large or inflexible, offering a compact, fiber‑based sensing option for inline, precision inspection and automation tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Automation","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51660372115758,"sku":null,"price":725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_13f38eb3-d28a-4ba1-b8e7-465dc15ba0e6.jpg?v=1769536931","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/balluff-bos-18kf-pa-1fr-s4-c-fiber-optic-sensor","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
