ifm electronic Threaded Barrel Ultrasonic Proximity Sensor M18 x 1, 300 mm, 100mA, PNP, 3V - 30V DC UGT500

ifm electronic UGT500 is a highly reliable threaded barrel ultrasonic proximity sensor designed for industrial automation and process control. This sensor features an M18 x 1 thread for straightforward mounting and provides a detection range up to 300 mm, making it suitable for applications requiring precise object sensing over longer distances.

Equipped with a robust barrel body style, the UGT500 is engineered for challenging environments where photoelectric sensors may fail, such as those involving heavy soiling, shiny, or transparent surfaces. The sensor transmits and receives ultrasonic sound waves; objects reflect these waves, allowing the sensor to measure distance by time-of-flight methods. With its maximum switching frequency of 8 Hz and a PNP output type, it is optimal for automation tasks requiring fast, accurate feedback.

The UGT500 operates across a wide voltage range from 3V to 30V DC and delivers a maximum switching current of 100mA, providing flexible compatibility with diverse machinery and control systems. Its interface features a standard M12 connector and 4-pin terminal, facilitating reliable electrical connections and easy integration.

This proximity sensor is constructed with high-grade polybutylene terephthalate, epoxy glass ceramic, and polyamide materials, ensuring durability and resistance to harsh industrial conditions. It is IP67-rated, offering protection against dust and water ingress - ideal for manufacturing, packaging, robotics, and material handling lines. Operating temperatures span from -20°C to 70°C for robust performance year-round.

Easy setting options via wire or button teach modes allow rapid configuration and adjustment on-site. The vibrating sound transducer minimizes dirt buildup, giving consistent results even in heavy-duty environments. Certified for CE, cULus, EN 55011, EN 60068, and UL standards, this sensor ensures safety and regulatory compliance in international applications.

Detects objects irrespective of color, surface shine, or transparency. Threaded barrel ensures secure mechanical fit in equipment panels. Flexible in automotive, logistics, and material handling operations. Temperature range of -20°C to 70°C allows use in refrigerated or hot environments.

Set up quickly via wire or teach button interface. Resistant to water, dust, and contaminants due to IP67 protection.
