The Schneider Electric SM520B146 is an ultrasonic proximity sensor from the Hyde Park series, engineered for precise object detection in automated systems. This sensor is designed to provide reliable sensing capabilities in environments where accurate distance measurement and presence detection are critical, commonly found in material handling and packaging machinery.

Technical details

• Sensing Technology: Ultrasonic
• Detection Principle: Time-of-flight measurement of reflected ultrasonic waves
• Output Type: Typically a discrete digital output (verify specific configuration via datasheet)
• Sensing Range: Specific range to be confirmed via manufacturer datasheet; ultrasonic sensors generally offer adjustable or fixed ranges suitable for medium-distance detection.
• Enclosure Type: Compact, cylindrical form factor (verify dimensions via datasheet)
• Operating Voltage: To be confirmed via manufacturer datasheet; common ranges for such sensors are 10-30 VDC.
• Connection Type: Typically a standard industrial connector (e.g., M12, verify via datasheet)
• Environmental Rating: Designed for industrial environments; specific IP rating to be confirmed via datasheet.

Applications & compatibility

This ultrasonic proximity sensor is well-suited for applications requiring non-contact detection of a wide variety of materials, including liquids, solids, and irregular shapes. It is commonly deployed in conveyor systems, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), packaging lines, and robotics for object presence, positioning, and level sensing.
