Ultrasonic Cubic sensors US50 Series

Datasensing US50 Series

The US50 Series offers a powerful line of ultrasonic sensing devices, engineered for long-range detection, high resolution, and industrial durability. With a measurement span of 200 mm to 8 m, minimum resolution of 1 mm, selectable output types and comprehensive configuration options via DIP switches and remote-teach, this series is tailored for demanding automation tasks such as level monitoring, conveyor detection, object presence over distance, and harsh environmental sensing.

Design & Functionality

• The US50 sensors feature a robust housing (typically M50 plastic tubular or metal depending on version) with radial emitting head and sealed construction for industrial use.
• Key functional characteristics include:
  • Long measurement range (200 mm to 8 m) enabling applications previously held by bulky or specialised sensors.
  • High resolution (1 mm typical) and excellent repeatability (also around 1 mm) ensure precision even across long distances.
  • Selectable output modes: Digital bipolar (PNP/NPN NO/NC) or Analogue (0-10 V / 4-20 mA) — enabling flexible integration into control systems.
  • Remote-teach or push-button setup plus DIP-switch configuration for sensitivity, blanking, distance window and other parameters — simplifying commissioning.
  • Wide temperature compensation capabilities, ensuring stable operation over –20 °C to +70 °C by reducing deviation from temperature effects.
  • Minimal dead-zone, narrow beam design, and rugged encapsulation—suitable for both solid and liquid monitoring in harsh environments.

Important: The US50 Series combines long-range detection up to 8 m, fine resolution (~1 mm), and versatile outputs in one rugged industrial sensor — offering major flexibility for large-scale automation systems.

Total Crossed Beams

(In this context: stable ultrasonic path and full sensing coverage)

• The US50 ultrasonic wave path is designed to deliver consistent detection even across long distances, maintaining strong echo signal strength and high repeatability.
• This leads to fewer missed detections, higher reliability, and stable performance in demanding settings like level tanks, conveyors, or wide zones.

Beam Pitch Options

(Here interpreted as variant modes for sensing range, output type and beam width)

• Example variant: Digital output only (PNP/NPN) for standard large-object detection.
• Example variant: Analogue output (0-10 V / 4-20 mA) for distance measurement or level monitoring.
• Narrow-beam models for focused measurement; wide-beam models for broad zone detection.
• These options allow you to select a US50 model tailored to your detection range, type of target, output signal and environment — giving design flexibility.

Intrinsic Synchronism

• The US50 integrates emitter and receiver electronics in a single assembly, with internal signal processing, DIP-switch configuration and remote-teach features. No separate synchronising module is required.
• With temperature compensation, remote teaching and sealed housing, the sensor supports fast commissioning, reliable long-term operation, and minimal maintenance.

Operational Advantages

• Large span and fine resolution: Up to 8 m range while still detecting objects at 1 mm resolution.
• Flexible signal integration: Choose between digital switching or analogue output depending on control system needs.
• Industrial robustness: Housed for harsh environments, wide temperature range, sealed construction, and narrow beam for targeted detection.
• Applications: Ideal for level measurement in tanks, object detection on long conveyors, machine monitoring across large gaps, packaging systems, transportation lines—where long-range, high reliability, and precise measurement are required.
