BALLUFF BNS 819-B05-R12-72-10  / BNS819B05R127210 

The Balluff BNS 819-B05-R12-72-10 is a high-precision, analog inductive distance sensor designed for demanding industrial automation applications. This sensor provides a continuous, non-contact measurement of the position, displacement, or vibration of metallic targets, making it an ideal solution for tasks requiring extreme accuracy and reliability.

Part of Balluff’s renowned BNS 819 series, this model is engineered for easy integration and robust performance in harsh environments, such as those found in machine tools, assembly automation, and press shops.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Precision Analog Output: Delivers a continuous voltage signal (0-10 V) proportional to the distance to the target, enabling precise monitoring and control in closed-loop systems.

• Extended Sensing Range: With a measurement range of 10 mm, it is suitable for applications requiring a longer working distance.

• Exceptional Linearity and Resolution: Provides highly accurate and repeatable measurements, ensuring consistent process quality and reducing scrap parts.

• Robust Metal Housing: The stainless steel face and threaded barrel (M18x1) offer excellent resistance to mechanical impact, wear, and harsh industrial coolants or lubricants.

• Integrated IO-Link Interface: This “Smart Sensor” capability allows for easy parameterization, advanced diagnostics, and streamlined device replacement, minimizing downtime.

• Fixed Cable Connection: The 2-meter, PVC-jacketed cable (potted connection) provides a robust and reliable solution for applications where connector failure is a concern.
