Balluff M12MD-NSC80F-S04G Inductive Proximity Sensor

Balluff BES01PT (M12MD-NSC80F-S04G) is a compact cylindrical inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact metal detection in automation, offering an 8 mm sensing range on an M12 form factor. It measures Ø12 x 50 mm, uses a non-flush installation, and features a brass housing with a nickel‑free coating plus a PBT sensing surface, with a 4‑pin M12x1 connector for easy integration. Powered from 10 to 30 VDC, it provides a NPN normally open output, supports switching frequencies up to 800 Hz, and is rated IP68 for protection against dust and water ingress in harsh industrial environments, with an operating ambient temperature range of -25 to 70 °C. This sensor is well suited for metal-detection and presence sensing on conveyors, tooling setups, and automation lines where reliable, contact-free sensing of metal parts is required.
