Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD05AKM1TR Ultrasonic Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD05AKM1TR is a compact ultrasonic diffuse-reflective proximity sensor with 0–10 V DC analogue output designed for accurate non-contact distance, position and level measurement in industrial automation applications. Its ultrasonic sensing principle allows reliable detection of many target materials without depending on colour, transparency or optical contrast.

The UA18CLD05AKM1TR features an M18 cylindrical PBTP housing and a rated sensing range of 60–500 mm. Its analogue output slope is adjustable, enabling the 0–10 V DC signal to increase or decrease according to target distance. Remote teach-in functionality allows straightforward configuration for the required measuring range and application.

With an M12 connector, compact M18 × 93 mm body and IP67 protection, the UA18CLD05AKM1TR is well suited to installation on industrial machinery, conveyors, tanks and automated production equipment. Integrated protection against short circuits, reverse polarity and electrical transients helps ensure dependable performance in demanding control environments.

Reliable Non-Contact Distance and Level Detection

Ultrasonic sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD05AKM1TR transmit high-frequency sound pulses towards a target and evaluate the returning echo to determine its distance from the sensor. Because detection is based on reflected sound rather than visible light, ultrasonic technology is particularly useful where the target's colour, surface appearance or transparency can make optical sensing difficult.

The UA18CLD05AKM1TR converts measured target position into a proportional 0–10 V DC analogue signal. Remote teach-in enables the required operating points to be configured for the application, while the adjustable output slope allows the analogue signal characteristic to be arranged according to the requirements of the connected PLC, controller or measurement system.

Typical Applications

• Non-contact distance measurement.
• Tank, hopper and container level monitoring.
• Industrial machinery and automation systems.
• Object position and presence detection.
• Conveyor and material handling equipment.
• Packaging and processing machinery.
• PLC analogue measurement applications.
• OEM machines requiring proportional distance feedback.
