Who is Balluff and what does it make?

Balluff is a German manufacturer of sensors and automation components, headquartered in Neuhausen auf den Fildern, founded in 1921 as a mechanical repair workshop. The programme covers inductive, capacitive, optical, magnetic, position and pressure sensors, RFID systems, machine vision and optical identification solutions, IO-Link industrial communication, connectivity, LED control and indicator modules, power supplies and software.

For communication, Balluff has IO-Link hubs, IO-Link masters, IO-Link interfaces for valve manifolds, IO-Link Wireless hubs and bridges, and inductive couplers for power and signal transmission. At entry level, the standard BES060 inductive sensor portfolio has six codes: BES060N and BES060T in M8, BES060R and BES060U in M12, BES060P and BES060M in M18, in housings of 45 or 65 mm length. Switching distances are 2, 4 and 8 mm, the output is PNP normally open, the connector is M8 or M12, protection is IP67, and operating temperatures range from −25 to 70 °C. For mounting there are BAM045 brackets with a stop, and for connection BCC cables of 2 m, with an M8 or M12 connector.

Alongside the inductive sensors there are diffuse-reflective, fibre-optic, fork, colour, contrast and distance optical sensors, plus light grids, for detecting parts on a conveyor and in assembly machines. RFID systems identify parts, tools and carriers, and code readers read codes on automated lines. In Romania, Balluff sensors and systems appear on assembly lines, in handling automation, in intralogistics and, through magnetostrictive linear position sensors, in industrial hydraulics. Automation designers and maintenance teams come across Balluff codes on imported machines and look for replacements or extensions.

What do we supply from the Balluff range?

Product	Description
BES inductive sensors	Proximity sensors for contactless detection of metals: cylindrical inductive sensors, with double switching distance, in M8, M12 and M18 sizes; the standard models BES060N, T, R, U, P and M have IP67 and an M8 or M12 connector.
Optical and fibre-optic sensors	Diffuse-reflective, fibre-optic, fork, colour and contrast optical sensors, distance optical sensors and light grids, for detecting parts on a conveyor and in assembly machines.
IO-Link and industrial communication	IO-Link masters, IO-Link hubs, IO-Link interfaces for valve manifolds, IO-Link Wireless hubs and bridges, and inductive couplers for power and signal transmission, for integrating sensors into the network.
RFID and machine vision	Industrial RFID systems for identifying parts, tools and carriers, and machine vision and optical identification systems, including code readers. They serve for tracking parts on automated lines and for reading codes, in combination with the IO-Link networks of the same programme.

Why Balluff?

Inductive proximity sensors in many versions — size, switching distance and housing material are chosen precisely
Standard BES060 portfolio (M8, M12, M18) with a 360° status LED — visual check of switching, power supply and short circuit
IO-Link system with masters, hubs and wireless versions — sensor signals and parameters on the same cable
RFID and optical identification systems — tracking of parts, tools and loads on automated lines
Extensive connectivity, with many cables and connectors (BCC...) — wiring parts for the sensors in the programme

How do we supply Balluff in Romania?

From the Balluff programme we can quote inductive, optical, magnetic sensors, IO-Link, RFID and connectivity, by order code. Standard sensors and cables arrive in 24–72 h when the item is available locally or at the supplier, while RFID, vision and complex IO-Link systems come to order, usually 1–4 weeks, from EU supply channels. For a quotation we need the code from the sensor (for example BES060N or a catalogue code), the supply voltage, the output type (PNP, NPN, IO-Link), the connector (M8 or M12) and the cable length, if you need one.

The equivalence between two sensors is established on the basis of the full code, the output and the connector, because the same size exists in several versions.

Frequently asked questions about Balluff

What does Balluff produce?

Balluff manufactures inductive, capacitive, optical, magnetic and position sensors, RFID systems, machine vision, IO-Link communication, connectivity, control and indicator modules and power supplies. The German company was founded in 1921 and is headquartered in Neuhausen auf den Fildern.

How do I choose the switching distance of an inductive sensor?

The distance is chosen with a margin above the real distance to the target. In the BES060 series, for example, M8 has 2 mm, M12 has 4 mm and M18 has 8 mm, all for flush mounting. Send us the housing size, the distance to the part and the target material.

Do you supply Balluff sensors in Romania and how fast?

Yes. Inductive sensors and cables arrive in 24–72 h when the item is available locally or at the supplier, and the rest of the programme in about 1–4 weeks. For RFID, vision systems or complex IO-Link configurations the lead time can be longer and appears in the quotation.

Can I replace a Balluff sensor with a model from another series?

It is possible only if the size, switching distance, output, connector and voltage match. We do not state equivalences by name. Send us the full code from the sensor or a photo of the nameplate, and we will check the matching version.

What data is needed for the quotation of an IO-Link system?

State the number and type of sensors, the control protocol (the network the master passes data to), the number of ports wanted, the type of mounting and the working environment. If you already have Balluff sensors, send their codes to check compatibility with the master.

How do I request a Balluff quotation?

Send the Balluff code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
