Description:
The 18GM40 is a compact ultrasonic sensor series with three range options (0.15 m, 0.35 m, 0.5 m) and excellent measurement fidelity—0.17 mm resolution, ±0.15 % accuracy, and built-in thermal drift compensation.
It provides rapid 50‑ms readings, selectable analog or switching outputs, and strong protections (IP67, overvoltage, reverse‑polarity). Its rugged nickel‑plated brass housing and flexible configurations make it a versatile choice for robotics protection, fluid‑level sensing, warehouse automation, and object detection tasks.
