The Pepperl + Fuchs UB500-F42S-E5-V15 ultrasonic sensor is a state-of-the-art device designed for precision distance measurement and object detection in a variety of industrial applications. With its compact form factor and robust construction, this sensor is an ideal choice for automation tasks where space is at a premium and reliability is paramount.
Key features of the UB500-F42S-E5-V15 include a sensing range of 30 to 500 mm and an adjustable range of 50 to 500 mm, ensuring versatility across a wide array of operational distances. The sensor boasts a minimal dead band of 0 to 30 mm, allowing for accurate detection of objects even in close proximity to the sensor face.
Equipped with a standard target plate size of 100 mm x 100 mm and operating at a transducer frequency of approximately 390 kHz, this sensor delivers quick response times of around 50 ms, which is essential for fast-paced industrial environments. The LED indicators provide immediate visual feedback on the sensor's status, including power, switching state, and programming functions.
The UB500-F42S-E5-V15 is designed with user-friendly features such as TEACH-IN programming for easy setup and configuration, as well as selectable NO/NC output states to cater to different control requirements. The sensor also includes interference suppression capabilities, which allow for adjustable divergence of the sound cone in close range, ensuring reliable operation even in environments with potential acoustic disturbances.
For applications requiring synchronisation, the sensor offers bi-directional synchronisation options with an input impedance of over 12 KOhm. It can operate in common mode at a maximum frequency of 95 Hz or in multiplex mode for setups involving multiple sensors.
Constructed with a durable ABS housing and a transducer made from an epoxy resin/hollow glass sphere mixture with a foam polyurethane cover, the UB500-F42S-E5-V15 is built to withstand the rigours of industrial use. It is rated with a protection degree of IP54, making it suitable for use in environments where exposure to dust and moisture is a concern.
Overall, the Pepperl + Fuchs UB500-F42S-E5-V15 ultrasonic sensor is a versatile and reliable solution for precise distance measurement and object detection, offering ease of use, quick response, and robustness for a wide range of industrial applications.

Thumbs up to Rob for helping out with an urgent requirement we had on a Friday afternoon. The part we wanted was over in Europe and Rob went out of his way to get it ordered and on site here for the following Tuesday.City Bearings
Absolutely fantastic service. Rob was very helpful. Great communication. Requested part was shipped in no time.Konrad Eliaszuk
Found the component i was looking for ad a great price. Great support from the staff as I was paying using a wire transfer. - Quick delivery and very good packaging.Adriano Tiberi
Found the part we needed at the best price. Spoke to Rob to make sure the part was actually in stock, as many companies don't actually have the part available to ship. It was in stock ready and the part was checked and shipped and received within a couple of days from their German stock. Would definitely use again and recommend.Chris Sentance
FIRST TIME WORKING WITH MARVO. THEY HAD WHAT I NEEDED AND TOOK GREAT CARE OF ME AND GOT MY ORDER OUT IMMEDITELY. WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE SERVICE AND THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH. I WILL DEFINITELY WORK WITH THEM QGAIN IN THE FUTURE.Robert Cohen
Excellent service partially from Mark who stayed late to ensure the part arrived with me same day as this was a critical part for me even though this was my first time using Marvo. I will defiantly be using again.Josh Holt
