• in Ultrasonic Sensors

  Automation Direct offers three lines of ultrasonic proximity sensors. First, the SU Series are 18 mm plastic sensors with adjustable ranges of 100 to 600 mm and 200 to 1,500 mm. They feature complete overload protection, LED status indicators on DC models, and IEC IP67 rating. Second, the TU Series of 30 mm proximity sensors has a sensing range from 300 to 2,500 mm, in addition to many of the same features as found on the SU models. Lastly, the UHZ Series are rectangular, miniature sensors with dimensions of 30 mm x 20 mm x 12 mm. Within this series are four models of through-beam sensors for applications with limited mounting space.
