The Balluff BES060N (BES M08ZE1‑PSC20B‑S49G) is a compact M8 flush‑mount inductive proximity sensor optimized for reliable metal detection, delivering a 2 mm sensing distance with PNP NO output in a space‑saving Ø 8 × 45 mm body—perfect for tight fixtures, pick‑and‑place tooling, and conveyor automation. Featuring a male M8×1, 3‑pin connector, 10–30 VDC operation, 600 Hz switching speed, IP67 protection, and an ambient range of −25…70 °C, it drops into standard machine builds with minimal wiring and fast response. A rugged nickel‑plated die‑cast zinc housing with a PBT sensing face resists everyday wear, while power and target status LEDs and the included (2) M8 mounting nuts speed installation and on‑line diagnostics. As part of Balluff’s BES Entry Line, the BES060N balances essential performance and value—making it a smart, cost‑effective upgrade for high‑volume OEM and factory automation projects.
