The Balluff BES01AF (BES 516-324-EO-C-PU-03) is a compact inductive proximity sensor engineered for precise ferrous metal detection in modern automation. Its M8 form factor with a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel body offers dependable switching for machine builders, OEMs, and maintenance teams who need a robust M8 PNP NO sensor in confined spaces.

Designed for flush mounting to minimize target offset, the BES01AF provides a 1.5 mm sensing range and up to 5 kHz switching for high-speed indexing and end-position detection. The durable PBT sensing face and IP68 sealing withstand coolant, dust, and washdown, while the -40 to +85 °C temperature range enables year-round operation. A 3 m PUR cable simplifies wiring, and the 10–30 VDC supply with cULus, CE and WEEE conformity supports global machine platforms.

Whether in packaging lines, assembly cells, or material handling systems, this M8 inductive sensor delivers stable, repeatable detection that helps reduce downtime and maintenance. Built to industrial standards and aligned with your productivity goals, it offers long-term reliability and is backed by a 1-year warranty for added peace of mind.
