Ultrasonic sensors

Whether position detection, distance measurement or the detection of solid, powdery and liquid media - our ultrasonic sensors are precise all-rounders.

They measure fill levels, heights or sagging without contact, monitor presence and count objects. Universally applicable, they work regardless of color and surface texture. Unaffected by transparent objects with strong reflections. Even fog, dust or dirt are no problem for them.

With the media-contacting ultrasonic position sensor, we are expanding our portfolio with an innovative option for the direct monitoring of hydraulic short-stroke cylinders. A reliable and economical solution for workpiece clamping - and a real milestone in the field of metalworking.

Our extensive portfolio of ultrasonic sensors

Their high resolution and small blind zones ensure extreme precision. And thanks to the large detection range, even large object distances are no obstacle for them.

Ultrasonic sensors from Balluff differ in their output signal. Thanks to a switching and an analog version, they can reliably detect and count objects as well as determine distances with high precision. This guarantees a wide range of applications.

Another plus: thanks to various output functions, our ultrasonic sensors can be used as normally closed or normally open contacts.

The most important advantages

Application examples

Application examples from various industrial sectors demonstrate the wide range of uses for ultrasonic sensors. They reliably detect distances, fill levels and objects - regardless of color, transparency or surface. Thanks to their non-contact and wear-free measuring principle, they are extremely precise and stable, even under harsh environmental conditions such as dust, dirt or moisture. They therefore offer flexible solutions for industrial automation and guarantee consistently high measuring accuracy.
