The Balluff BES 517-223-M5-E is a high-performance non-flush inductive sensor designed for precise object detection in industrial automation applications. Featuring a sensing range of 30 mm and a 40 × 40 mm housing, it supports both NO and NC switching outputs with a switching frequency of 100 Hz for reliable operation. Constructed from durable PBT for both the housing and sensing surface, the sensor ensures long-term stability and resistance to harsh environments. It connects via screw terminals and operates within a voltage range of 20–250 V DC or 20–250 V AC, performing reliably in ambient temperatures from -25°C to 70°C. Rated IP67 and certified under CE, cULus, EAC, and WEEE standards, the BES 517-223-M5-E provides robust protection and compliance. In North America, Europe, Asia, and worldwide industrial installations, its deployment may possibly be ideal for systems requiring accurate, durable, and high-quality non-flush proximity sensing.
