Product type
Ultrasonic distance sensors are devices that use ultrasonic waves to measure the distance to an object. They emit a sound wave at a frequency above the range of human hearing and measure the time it takes for the echo to return after bouncing off the target object. These sensors are typically made of a transducer and a microcontroller that processes the signals. They are widely used in various industrial applications for distance measurement and object detection.
| Operating range | 2 cm to 4 m |
| Frequency | 40 kHz to 200 kHz |
| Power supply | 5V to 24V DC |

When selecting an ultrasonic distance sensor, consider the operating range and frequency that best suits your application. Ensure the power supply requirements match your system's specifications. It is also important to specify the desired output type, whether analog or digital, based on how you plan to integrate the sensor into your system. Always check for environmental ratings and certifications that may be relevant to your application, such as IP ratings for dust and water resistance.
