USSM1.0 PLUS-FS Ultrasonic Sensor Module

TDK Corporation’s USSM1.0 PLUS-FS ultrasonic sensor module has the sensor element mechanically decoupled from the housing, making the IP65/67 protected sensor (B59110W2111W032) immune to external mechanical vibrations that can falsify the measurement result. The module, supplied with a nominal voltage of 12 V, can be mounted in a front chassis via a M19 thread with a locking nut or snap hooks.

Actuated by a driver and an integrated piezoelectric disk, the integrated signal processor ASIC can calculate the signal propagation time with a repetition rate of up to 50 samples/s. This allows measuring distances from 18 cm to 200 cm; in pitch-and-catch mode with several modules, even measuring distances of 4 cm is feasible. The field-of-view (FoV) of the USSM1.0 PLUS-FS, which the customer can optimize to suit their needs, is ±35°. Individual measurement scenarios can also be programmed. The sensor module is suitable for a wide range of brightness conditions, including full sunlight, and it measures very accurately regardless of the color and translucence of the target object.
