SU, UK, UT and TU series round body and UQ series cubic plastic ultrasonic distance sensors from AutomationDirect are now available in sensing distance ranges from 60mm to 8000mm, in metal or plastic ...

Although ultrasonic sensors have been around for several decades, their popularity in sensing applications continues due to their capability, flexibility and relatively low cost. Products like ...

Promoted as low-cost components, the Virtu and Virtu18 ultrasonic sensors are now available with analog outputs. Both are dual-mount, barrel-style sensors with a sensing range from 50 mm to 508 mm and ...

With its extended functional range and advanced temperature compensation, the T30UX sensor withstands hostile environments, providing superior ultrasonic sensing to solve even the toughest application ...

This post is a review of the popular waterproof ultrasonic sensor JSN-SR04T. I hope this will serve as a backdrop for some interesting ultrasonic distance sensor experiments and projects. A number of ...

Sometimes, it’s time to shut down the oscilloscope, and break out the cardboard and paints. If you’re wondering what for, well, here’s a reminder of an Instructable from [CrazyScience], that brings us ...

Machines need sensors and transmitters to operate reliably and consistently. All it takes is a small drop in air pressure or a slight jam to cause a machine to crash; these sorts of problems can often ...

Where digital sensors will give a binary output, analog sensors give variable output, which changes linearly with distance detection. This becomes very critical in tasks that require fine-tuned ...

[Klaus] wanted some sort of aid for parking his car, and after running across a $4 ultrasonic sensor, decided to build his own speaking distance sensor (.de, Google Translation). Inside [Klaus]’ ...

Ultrasonic proximity sensors emit a sound pulse that bounces back to the sensor from a target and generates an output signal. These sensors can detect metallic and non-metallic, transparent or opaque, ...
