Technical Datasheet: BALLUFF BES05AL

Ordering Code: BES05AL

Part Number / Model: BES M18ME-PSC12E-S04G-W08

Series: F1 / Factor 1 (Equal sensing distance for all metals)

1. Product Characteristics & Application

• Sensor Type: Inductive Proximity Sensor

• Housing Design: Threaded metric cylindrical barrel type (M18 × 1).

• Sensing Range (S_n): 12 mm (Ultra-extended sensing range for an M18 housing size).

• Mounting: Non-flush mountable (indicated by the configuration model structure and the large 12\text{ mm} range).

• Special Features: Factor 1 (F1 Technology) — provides a uniform switching distance for all metallic materials (such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper) without any reduction factor. It offers high magnetic field immunity, making it excellent for heavy automotive manufacturing, automation assembly lines, and welding networks.
