RS PRO Ultrasonic Barrel-Style Proximity Sensor, M18 x 1, 500 mm Detection, PNP Output, IP67

RS PRO Ultrasonic Proximity Sensor

Introducing the range of RS PRO Ultrasonic Proximity Sensors, ideal for obstacle detection, distance measurement and liquid and solid material sensing applications. These versatile and high-quality sensors are an essential addition to any environment where measurement of attributes like pressure, thickness, etc. are integral to business operations, like manufacturing plants and industrial environments. Thanks to the internal temperature compensation, each measurement is picked up with high accuracy, even in challenging environments where factors like dirt, dust or fog are present. Whether it’s position detection, detection of solid, liquid or powdered materials or distance measurement, with the RS PRO seal of approval, you are guaranteed a premium performance product, without the premium product price tag.

Features and Benefits:

• This range of RS PRO ultrasonic sensors offer precise detection, long-term reliability and high accuracy thanks to internal temperature compensation


• The sensors are completely encapsulated, which greatly increases shock and vibration resistance, and are easily integrated into the system due to the compact design


• They also have an IP rating of 67 and are built from a nickel-plated brass housing for extra durability and protection, offering peace of mind and reliability


• RS PRO ultrasonic sensors are ideal for use in demanding and adverse environments where accurate measurement is essential, and contamination needs to be avoided


• The proximity sensor's operating temperature ranges from -25°C to +75°C


• Additional features include a short circuit, power up pulse and reverse polarity protection


• Available in a range of output types as well as a wide variety of detection ranges

Applications:

An ultrasonic proximity sensor is a non-contact device that is able to detect the presence or absence of virtually any object regardless of material. The sensors do this by emitting a high-frequency sonic pulse and monitoring the signal that is reflected back, picking up the difference in measurement, for example, if an object or obstacle is detected. An output signal is given when this happens – this is most commonly based on the measurement parameters and configuration the sensor has been set up with – and is then converted into a measurement distance for the user to evaluate.
These sensors are especially useful for production or laboratory environments where target objects and certain attributes need to be monitored for effective working and for the guarantee of quality, like measuring pressure, flow, thickness, liquid level and so much more.

Approvals and Certifications:
