The Balluff BES 516-371-E5-C-S49 is a compact flush-mount inductive sensor engineered for precise detection in industrial automation systems. Measuring Ø6.5 × 45 mm with a D6.5 housing, it features a PNP normally open (NO) switching output and a high switching frequency of 3000 Hz for fast and reliable response. The sensor housing is constructed from stainless steel with a PBT sensing surface, ensuring durability and resistance to harsh environments. Connectivity is provided via a 3-pin M8×1 male connector, supporting an operating voltage range of 10–30 VDC. Rated IP67 for dust and water protection and certified under CE, UKCA, cULus, and WEEE standards, the BES 516-371-E5-C-S49 performs reliably across ambient temperatures from -40°C to 85°C. In North America, Europe, Asia, and worldwide applications, its deployment may possibly be ideal for systems requiring robust, high-speed, and precise flush-mounted proximity sensing.
