Balluff BHS003J Inductive Proximity Sensor

Balluff BHS003J is a pressure-rated inductive proximity sensor, identified as BES 516-300-S295/1.025"-S4, designed for robust metal sensing in demanding industrial environments. The compact rectangular housing measures 51 x 48 x 26 mm and provides a sensing distance of 26 mm (1.025 inches), enabling non-contact detection of metal targets on automation lines and equipment. As an inductive sensor, it detects metal objects without physical contact, making it suitable for position sensing on conveyors, machine tools, and other rugged applications where wear-free sensing is essential. The BHS003J designation denotes this specific 1.025"-S4 variant within Balluff’s BES sensor family, tying the sensing range to the BES 516-300-S295 housing configuration for reliable mounting and integration. This model is typically chosen when a compact, sturdy sensor is required to withstand industrial conditions while delivering repeatable metal-detection performance in continuous operation. The BES 516-300-S295/1.025"-S4 code anchors it to Balluff’s range of pressure-rated inductive sensors, ensuring compatibility with the company’s sensor ecosystem and common industrial mounting standards.
