Basic BES Q40 inductive sensors are designed for general factory automation applications. They provide two flexible active sensing surfaces with 20 mm of operating distance with flush-mounting capabilities. The sensors are available with 2 m of cable length, PNP normally open output polarity and a compact 40- x 40-mm block-style housing for compact mounting locations. The short circuit-protected sensors are IP67-rated for dusty and wet environments. The active sensing area can be on the front or side of the sensor for flexible installation.
