Ultrasonic Sensor Formats

Ult­ra­so­nic sen­sors are ava­ilab­le in dif­fe­rent ho­using de­signs de­pen­ding on the app­li­ca­ti­on. There are sen­sors with space-​saving de­sign (cy­lind­ri­cal or cubic), th­ro­ugh to fork de­signs. This page pro­vi­des a comp­re­hen­si­ve overview of the de­signs of the ult­ra­so­nic sen­sors and explains their pro­per­ti­es, which en­su­re the gre­atest pos­sib­le flexibility in sys­tem plan­ning.

Cy­lind­ri­cal For­mat

Cubic For­mat

Cy­lind­ri­cal Ho­using

Cy­lind­ri­cal ult­ra­so­nic sen­sors offer high sta­bi­lity and re­sis­tan­ce due to the sta­in­less steel ho­using. The dif­fe­rent di­ame­ter sizes enab­le a wide se­lec­ti­on of sonic cones and ran­ges to meet the requirements of dif­fe­rent app­li­ca­ti­ons.

Cubic Ho­using

Cubic ult­ra­so­nic sen­sors are cha­rac­te­ri­zed by easy pa­ra­me­te­ri­za­ti­on of the di­gi­tal or ana­log out­puts. Any set­tings can be made easily using teach-​in or a disp­lay. The ma­jo­rity of the sen­sors also have an IO-​Link in­ter­fa­ce.

Fork Ho­using

Thanks to their func­ti­onal prin­cip­le, ult­ra­so­nic fork sen­sors are ide­ally su­ited for re­li­ab­le, con­tact­less label de­tec­ti­on. The emit­ter and the re­ce­iver are ar­ran­ged as a light bar­ri­er in a sing­le ho­using and de­tect even the smal­lest chan­ge in ult­ra­so­und at­te­nu­ati­on.
