ua18cld15ak – ult prox lp m18 diff analogue 0-10vdc cab
Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15AK is an M18 diffuse-reflective ultrasonic sensor with an adjustable 200–1500 mm sensing range, 0–10 V DC analogue output, 18–30 V DC supply, 2 m cable and IP67 protection for industrial distance and level measurement.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15AK Ultrasonic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15AK is an M18 diffuse-reflective ultrasonic proximity sensor designed for continuous non-contact distance measurement in industrial automation applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD series, it combines an extended sensing range with a standard analogue voltage output for straightforward integration into PLC, machine-control and process-monitoring systems.
The UA18CLD15AK provides an adjustable 200–1500 mm sensing range and a 0–10 V DC analogue output. Its ultrasonic operating principle determines target distance using reflected sound waves, allowing dependable measurement without relying on the colour or visual contrast of the detected object.
Operating from an 18–30 V DC supply, this cable-connected version features an M18 × 89 mm PBT housing with an integral 2 m cable. An operating frequency of 8 Hz, IP67 environmental protection and built-in electrical protection make it a practical choice for industrial distance, position and level-monitoring duties.

Reliable Ultrasonic Measurement for Industrial Automation
The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15AK measures target distance by transmitting ultrasonic pulses and evaluating their reflected echo. This non-contact principle makes the sensor useful for monitoring objects and materials where colour, surface contrast or changing visual conditions could make optical sensing less suitable.
Its 0–10 V DC analogue output provides a proportional signal that can be processed by compatible PLC analogue inputs, controllers and measurement equipment. The extended 200–1500 mm range, compact M18 construction and IP67 protection make the UA18CLD15AK suitable for continuous measurement across a broad range of industrial machinery and process applications.
Typical Applications
- Continuous distance and position measurement.
- Tank, vessel and container level monitoring.
- Roll and reel diameter measurement.
- Object positioning on conveyors and production lines.
- Packaging and material handling machinery.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- Detection of targets with varying colour or visual contrast.
- PLC and process-control systems using 0–10 V analogue inputs.
