Flush mountable means the sensing face of the BES 516-324-G-S49-C can be installed level with the surrounding metal mounting surface without affecting its performance. This is ideal for applications where space is limited or the sensor needs to be protected. What is the pinout for the M8 connector on the BES01AU? The standard 3-pin M8 connector for this PNP sensor is pinned as follows: Pin 1 is for the positive supply (+V, typically brown wire), Pin 3 is for the ground (0V, typically blue wire), and Pin 4 is the signal output (typically black wire). Can this sensor detect non-ferrous metals like aluminum or copper? Yes, as an inductive sensor, it can detect all metals. However, the nominal sensing distance of 2 mm is specified for standard steel targets. For non-ferrous metals like aluminum, the sensing distance will be reduced due to a correction factor. You should consult the Balluff datasheet for the specific reduction factor for your target material. profideals is not an authorized distributor, reseller or representative of the products featured on this website.
