Overview
The Balluff BES M18MI-PSC50B-S04G (order code BES00NZ) is a standard M18 flush inductive sensor with 5 mm rated range, PNP normally-open output and M12 connector, used for position and presence detection on machines, conveyors and tooling. Balluff sensors are known for consistent quality and extended operating ranges; the BES range includes factor 1 versions for non-ferrous metals, pressure-rated sensors for hydraulic cylinders, steel-face sensors for welding and high-temperature variants. The nickel-plated brass housing with PBT face is IP67 and the electronics include short-circuit and reverse-polarity protection with LED indication.
Key features
- M18 flush, 5 mm rated range, switching frequency 800 Hz

Frequently asked questions
How do I read the Balluff type code?
BES = inductive sensor; M18 = thread; MI = flush, standard; PSC = PNP NO; 50 = 5.0 mm range; B = short housing; S04 = M12 connector; G = straight. The short order code BES00NZ identifies the same part.
Can it be mounted flush in steel?
Yes. The MI version is flush-mountable, so the active face can sit level with the surrounding metal without affecting the range.
Is the BES M18 available from stock, and what is the lead time?
Typically 1–2 weeks from Balluff regional stock. We confirm with the quotation.
