When selecting inductive sensors for the standard factory environment, our customers are often faced with the challenge of choosing between a very low price and significant quality or handling disadvantages. This leads to a lot of machine downtime and high personnel costs due to frequent or costly retrofitting.
On the other hand, there are high-quality sensors that are too expensive for the application and investment due to features that are not necessarily required and unused. In addition, expert knowledge may be required for installation.
Not an "or" but an "and"
Are you looking for the right performance at an optimal price-performance ratio for applications that are not technically unusual or very complex? Do you have clear specifications for your tasks, know exactly what you need and are looking for a solution that meets your requirements?
You need a solution that is both cost-effective and of high quality and does not contain any unnecessary features. Our new Entry Line portfolio of inductive sensors offers just that - an optimal balance between price and performance without compromising on quality.
There is no substitute for robustness! Except more robustness combined with the best visibility!
Our BES Entry Line impresses with its integrated light guide, which ensures absolutely reliable detection of switching states.
But is it robust enough? Of course it is! My endurance test from a height of 12 m proves that the sensor is completely undamaged and functional!

Our promise to you: We have the right solution for each of your phases

Product selection and purchase
Excellent price-performance ratio thanks to "You get what you need": the functions you need at a fair price and the Balluff quality promise.

Delivery
Handling made easy: no time-consuming unpacking of individual sensors and waste saved.

Commissioning and ongoing operation
Follow the light: no time-consuming troubleshooting both during operation and when preparing for installation.

Replacement
Install and you're done: sophisticated assembly and disassembly principle for fast, simple and technically undemanding installation and replacement.
1. optimum price-performance ratio
When developing the new inductive Entry Line portfolio, we deliberately focused on costs: What functions does the user really need, especially in the area of completely normal, non-challenging factory automation? By concentrating on the essentials, we have succeeded in creating an optimum price-performance ratio for precisely this application. For all other cases, our broad portfolio certainly also offers a suitable solution.
2. less time, less waste: save time and waste with multi-packaging
Our Entry Line portfolio of inductive sensors is specially designed for standard applications in large quantities. They can therefore be ordered efficiently for larger quantities. Environmentally friendly multi-packaging of 25 units eliminates the need for time-consuming unpacking of individual sensors. The mounting material is enclosed separately. This saves time and packaging waste.
3. follow the light: monitoring and fault identification with 360° LED indicator
Once the sensor has been installed quickly and easily, its specially developed plastic backend with LEDs provides you with a 360° functional display of the sensor status. In addition to the switching status, this now also shows its power supply and any faults, e.g. short circuits. This allows you to keep an eye on everything, identify faults more quickly and easily, reduce downtimes and increase system availability.
4. plug & play: quick and easy installation and replacement
With the optionally available clamp holder, the sensors can be mounted without tools and also replaced if necessary. And thanks to the fixed stop, this is quick and easy "plug and play". This means you can not only find the sensor with the 360° LED display quickly, but also replace it in no time at all. Because time is money!
