ifm electronic Block Ultrasonic Proximity Sensor M18 x 1, PNP Output, 800 mm Detection Range, IP67, 3V - 30V DC, 100mA, UGT583

The ifm electronic UGT583 is a block-style ultrasonic Proximity Sensor designed for long-range and challenging detection applications. Featuring an M18 x 1 thread, this sensor offers reliable object detection using ultrasonic technology, capable of sensing color, transparent, or shiny objects where optical sensors may fail. Its robust housing combines polyamide, polybutylene terephthalate, stainless steel, and epoxy glass ceramic, delivering high durability and resistance to harsh industrial environments.

With a detection range up to 800 mm and a PNP output configuration, the UGT583 provides precise time-of-flight measurement for various surfaces, including difficult or soiled objects. The screw terminal allows for quick and secure wiring, making installation straightforward across multiple automation and control platforms. Its wide supply voltage range - from 3 V up to 30 V DC - offers compatibility with diverse control systems.

The sensor operates from -20°C to 70°C, ensuring dependability in both cold and hot environments, while the IP67 ingress protection rating prevents dust and water ingress. The maximum switching current of 100 mA supports reliable operation in demanding tasks such as position, presence, or level sensing within factory automation, robotics, conveyor systems, packaging equipment, and material handling.

Additional features include a maximum switching frequency of 5 Hz, a block form factor for stable mounting, and compliance with international standards such as CE, UL, EN 55011, EN 60068-2-27/-2-6, EN 61000-4-2, -4-3, -4-4, -4-6, ensuring quality and approval for industrial use. Its compact size (53 mm length, 20 mm width, 37.7 mm depth) allows integration into tight control cabinets or machine panels.

The UGT583 excels in scenarios where photoelectric sensors might struggle, performing optimally with heavily soiled objects or challenging surface properties. Vibrating sound transducer technology reduces dirt buildup, enhancing operational reliability. Applications span industrial automation, manufacturing lines, logistics, warehousing, lab equipment, and commercial installations requiring stable and accurate proximity sensing.
