Balluff BES 516-356-B0-C Inductive Proximity Sensor

Balluff BES 516-356-B0-C is an inductive proximity sensor with a 96-inch lead, designed for non-contact detection of metal targets in automated systems. Housed in Balluff’s 12 mm M12 cylindrical enclosure, it provides a 4 mm sensing distance and is commonly deployed in tight spaces on conveyors, machine tools, and robotic cells where metal presence must be detected without contact. It operates on a DC supply of 10 to 30 V, enabling straightforward integration with standard industrial controllers. The 96-inch lead facilitates wiring to remote junction boxes or control panels, reducing the need for additional connectors in compact equipment layouts. The BES 516-356-B0-C is part of Balluff’s inductive sensor family, offering compact dimensions and metal sensing capability suitable for industrial automation tasks.
