Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15NOM1 Ultrasonic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15NOM1 is an industrial diffuse-reflective ultrasonic proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact object detection in automation, material-handling and machine-building applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD series, it combines an M18 cylindrical PBT housing with an NPN normally-open switching output.
The UA18CLD15NOM1 provides an adjustable sensing distance of 200–1500 mm and operates at a frequency of 8 Hz. Its NPN normally-open transistor output provides a discrete switching signal for compatible PLC and machine-control inputs, making the sensor suitable for presence detection, position monitoring and level-control duties.
Designed for industrial installation, the sensor operates from an 18–30 V DC supply and features an M12 connector with pigtail connection, an M18 × 97 mm PBT housing and IP67 protection. Integrated short-circuit, reverse-polarity and transient protection further supports dependable operation in automated machinery and production equipment.

Medium-Range Ultrasonic Object Detection
Ultrasonic sensors detect objects by transmitting high-frequency acoustic pulses and evaluating the returning echo. Because detection is based on sound rather than visible light, ultrasonic technology can detect many targets regardless of colour, transparency or optical surface characteristics, making it useful where photoelectric sensing can be more challenging.
The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15NOM1 combines an adjustable 200–1500 mm sensing range with an NPN normally-open switching output. When a target satisfies the switching condition, the sensor provides a discrete transistor signal to compatible industrial control equipment, enabling reliable object presence, position and level detection.
Typical Applications
- Object presence and position detection.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Conveyor and material-handling systems.
- Container and product detection.
- Liquid and bulk-material level detection.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Factory automation systems.
- Machine-building applications requiring medium-range non-contact detection.
