The Pepperl + Fuchs UB800-18GM40-U-V1 ultrasonic sensor is a compact and versatile device designed for precise distance measurement and object detection in a wide range of industrial applications. With a sensing range of 50 to 800 mm and an adjustable measurement window, this sensor offers flexibility and accuracy for monitoring and control tasks.
The sensor features a short design with a length of 40 mm, making it suitable for installation in tight spaces. It is equipped with function indicators that are visible from all directions, ensuring clear status visibility. The analogue output of 0 to 10 V provides a linear signal relative to the detected distance, and the sensor's programming capabilities allow for customisation of the output function to suit specific application needs.
Constructed with a robust brass, nickel-plated housing and a transducer made from a durable epoxy resin and hollow glass sphere mixture, the UB800-18GM40-U-V1 is designed to withstand harsh industrial environments. It has a protection degree of IP67, ensuring protection against dust and water ingress.
Temperature compensation is built into the sensor to maintain performance across a wide ambient temperature range of -25 to 70 °C, making it suitable for use in varying climate conditions. The sensor's response delay is approximately 100 ms, providing timely feedback for dynamic processes.
The UB800-18GM40-U-V1 is a reliable choice for applications requiring non-contact object detection and distance measurement, such as material handling, level control, and automation systems. Its technical sophistication and build quality make it a valuable component for enhancing operational efficiency and precision.
