Balluff M18BB13-PSC80D-S04K Capacitive Sensor

Balluff BCS M18BBI3-PSC80D-S04K is a cylindrical capacitive sensor in an M18 housing that detects non-metallic objects and media without contact, making it ideal for dielectric-target sensing across automation lines, packaging equipment, and material handling. It features an M18x1 threaded body for flush mounting, a 3-pin M12x1 connector, and a PNP normally-open output powered from 10 to 30 V DC, enabling straightforward integration with standard control circuitry. The sensing range is adjustable from 2 to 8 mm, the housing is made of 1.4305 stainless steel, and the sensing surface is PBT, designed for durability in industrial environments with an operating temperature range from -25 to 85°C. With dimensions of Ø18 x 88.5 mm, this Balluff capacitive sensor fits compact installations on conveyors, machine beds, or assembly cells, delivering reliable non-contact detection of dielectric materials where metal-target sensors would be unsuitable, and it is part of Balluff's BCS M18 family of capacitive sensors.
