CUI Devices has introduced ultrasonic transducers with ingress protection ratings of IP67 or IP68, operating up to 400kHz.
CUI Devices has introduced ultrasonic transducers with ingress protection ratings of IP67 or IP68, operating up to 400kHz.
There are 18 models, with beam angle spanning 7° to 80° and operational distance ranging from 30mm to 15m.
“With combined transmit and receive functions in a single package, engineers can benefit from a simplified ultrasonic sensor solution for distance measurement, object detection and proximity sensing,” according to the company. “Housed in compact, aluminium cases, they offer through-hole wire leads and [flying] wire leads.”
Picking the CUSA-TR80-065-2000-TH68 (centre in photo), this is an 16mm diameter device intended to operate at 40kHz at ranges between 300mm and 6.5m. Beam angle is 80° (=±40° to -6dB) and drive can be at up to 150Vp-p. It can work over -40 to 80°C and protection is to IP68.
CUSA-TR071-01-400-TH67 (left) is 13mm in diameter and its vital statistics are 300kHz, 50mm to 1m, 7°, 400Vp-p, the same temperature range and IP67 sealing.
CUSA-TR60-06-2000-W68 (right) is a 15.5mm diameter (plus flanges) 48kHz, 300mm to 6m, 60° 150Vp-p device sealed to IP68 and connected with flying leads. Replace ‘W68’ with ‘WC68’ for a two-pin connector on the end of the leads. ,
Find CUI’s ultrasonic transceivers on this web page – although check, as a handful of these are neither IP68 nor IP67 rated.
