Balluff BES0068 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Description

The Balluff BES0068 is a precision-engineered inductive proximity sensor built for dependable sensing in harsh industrial conditions. It features a compact cylindrical M12 × 1 nickel-free brass housing (Ø 12 × 65 mm) and a 4 mm flush-detection range, making it ideal for tight installations. The PNP, normally-open output with a 3-pin M12 connector simplifies integration with automation control systems. Operating on 10–30 V DC and rated for high switching performance (2,500 Hz), the sensor delivers fast and consistent detection. Its robust construction—including an IP68 rating, PBT sensing surface, and wide operating temperature range (−25 °C to +70 °C)—ensures durability against dust, water, and mechanical wear. This makes it an excellent choice for applications such as material handling, positioning, and process automation.
