FAQ

Flush mountable, or embeddable, means the sensing face of the sensor can be installed level with the surrounding metal surface without affecting its performance or sensing distance. This is ideal for installations where the sensor needs to be protected or space is limited.

For this Balluff sensor, the standard M8 3-pin PNP wiring applies. Pin 1 (brown wire) is for the positive supply (+V, 10-30 V DC), Pin 3 (blue wire) is for the ground (0V), and Pin 4 (black wire) is the signal output. Pin 2 is typically not used. Always verify with the official datasheet before installation.

Yes, as an inductive sensor, it can detect all metals. However, the nominal sensing distance (Sn) of 2 mm is specified for a standard steel target. For non-ferrous metals like aluminum or copper, a reduction factor applies, meaning the actual sensing distance will be shorter. Refer to the Balluff datasheet for specific reduction factors for different materials.
