Balluff BES516214E4E Sensor

Balluff BES516214E4E Sensor is an inductive proximity sensor from the BES 516 family, built in a cylindrical M18 thread with an overall length of 70.5 mm for easy installation in compact machine layouts. It is unshielded, normally closed, and wired as a 2‑wire device, with a sensing distance (Sn) of 8 mm, designed for mounting in steel, and a nickel‑plated brass housing with a PA12 sensing face to withstand demanding industrial environments. The device accepts a wide range of supply voltages (20–250 VAC/DC) with 110 VAC listed as a rated operating voltage, a maximum switching frequency of 250 Hz, and a rated current of up to 250 mA; it also includes short‑circuit and reverse‑polarity protection and is rated to IP67 for dust and water ingress resistance, making it suitable for rugged production lines and equipment where reliable metal detection and position sensing are required. The BES516214E4E uses a S27 connector for wiring and conforms to IEC 60947-5-2 standards for inductive proximity switches and sensors.
