ua18cld15akm1 – ult prox lp m18 diff analogue 0-10vdc plg
Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15AKM1 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, M12 connection and IP67 protection for industrial distance and level measurement.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15AKM1 Ultrasonic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15AKM1 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 integration with PLCs, controllers and industrial measurement systems.
The UA18CLD15AKM1 provides an adjustable 200–1500 mm sensing range and a 0–10 V DC analogue output with a nominal output slope of 5.5 mV/mm. Its ultrasonic sensing principle measures targets using reflected sound waves, providing dependable distance measurement without relying on target colour or visual contrast.
Operating from an 18–30 V DC supply, this plug-connected version features a durable M18 × 97 mm PBT housing and an M12 connector. An operating frequency of 8 Hz, IP67 environmental protection and built-in electrical protection make it suitable for industrial distance, position and level-monitoring applications.

Reliable Ultrasonic Measurement for Industrial Automation
The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15AKM1 measures target distance by transmitting ultrasonic pulses and evaluating the returning echo. Because measurement is based on sound rather than visible light, the sensor is suitable for many applications involving targets whose colour, contrast or visual appearance may vary during operation.
Its 0–10 V DC analogue output provides a continuously varying signal for compatible PLC analogue inputs, controllers and industrial measurement equipment. Combined with its 200–1500 mm adjustable range, M12 connection, robust M18 housing and IP67 protection, the UA18CLD15AKM1 provides a practical solution for continuous industrial measurement.
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.
