ua18cld05nptr – uprox dr rt pl m18 2npn cab
Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD05NPTR is an M18 diffuse-reflective ultrasonic sensor with a 60–500 mm adjustable sensing range, dual NPN NO/NC outputs, 12–30 V DC supply, 2 m cable and IP67 protection for industrial object detection.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD05NPTR Ultrasonic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD05NPTR is a compact and reliable ultrasonic diffuse-reflective proximity sensor designed for non-contact object detection and positioning in industrial automation systems. Its ultrasonic operating principle allows dependable sensing of a wide range of materials without relying on colour, contrast or transparency.
The UA18CLD05NPTR features an adjustable sensing range of 60–500 mm and provides dual NPN switching outputs with normally open / normally closed functionality. This makes it suitable for machine control, presence detection and level-related applications where two switching outputs are required.
With an M18 × 93 mm cylindrical housing, 2 m cable connection and IP67 protection, the UA18CLD05NPTR is designed for straightforward integration into industrial machinery. A rated operating voltage of 12–30 V DC, load current capability below 500 mA and integrated electrical protection support reliable operation in demanding automation environments.

Reliable Non-Contact Object Detection
Ultrasonic sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD05NPTR transmit high-frequency sound waves towards a target and evaluate the returning echo to determine whether an object is present within the configured sensing range. Because detection is based on reflected sound rather than visible light, the sensor can detect many objects regardless of their colour or optical appearance.
The adjustable 60–500 mm sensing range makes the UA18CLD05NPTR suitable for short-range machine automation tasks, while its dual NPN outputs provide flexible switching signals for PLCs and other industrial control equipment. The cable-connected M18 format also allows straightforward installation into existing machinery and sensing assemblies.
Typical Applications
- Object presence and position detection.
- Industrial machinery and automation systems.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Level and fill-state detection.
- Component detection on production lines.
- PLC-controlled machine applications.
- OEM machinery requiring non-contact switching sensors.
