ifm electronic Threaded Barrel Ultrasonic Proximity Sensor M18 x 1, 1600 mm, 100mA PNP, 3V - 30V DC, IP67 UGT203

ifm electronic UGT203 is a high-performance threaded barrel ultrasonic proximity sensor engineered for demanding industrial and automation environments. Featuring an M18 x 1 threaded barrel design, this sensor offers secure installation and robust mechanical compatibility with various process machinery and control systems.

Its wide detection range, up to 1600 mm, enables reliable long-distance object sensing using ultrasonic technology. The sensor utilizes a vibrating sound transducer to minimize dirt accumulation and maintain accuracy, even in applications where surfaces may be contaminated or objects are difficult to sense optically.

Designed for versatility, UGT203 operates within a DC voltage range of 3V to 30V, accommodating different electrical systems. The sensor delivers a PNP output type with a maximum switching current of 100mA, enabling seamless interfacing with digital control modules and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Both digital and analogue output capabilities are available, expanding connectivity with legacy and modern control architectures.

Constructed with polybutylene terephthalate, epoxy glass ceramic, and polyamide materials, the device combines chemical resistance with high mechanical stability. The M12 connector simplifies safe and quick wiring, and the IP67 protection ensures operation in moist, dusty, or otherwise challenging environments.

Setting parameters can be accomplished via wire or button teach, facilitating flexible configuration during commissioning and maintenance. The sensor’s robust design, together with advanced ultrasonic sensing, makes it suitable for industrial automation, packaging lines, material handling systems, and any manufacturing scenario that requires precise detection regardless of object color or surface properties.

Applications include factory automation, assembly lines, machine safety, robotics, logistics, and quality control. Its CE, cULus, EN, and UL compliance signifies broad acceptance in industrial and commercial installations internationally.
