Multimode ultrasonic sensor USSM1.0 PLUS-FS

Product overview
TDK Corporation ultrasonic sensor module USSM1.0 PLUS-FS (order number B59110W2111W032). The sensing element is mechanically decoupled from the housing to reduce sensitivity to external vibrations. The module is rated IP65/67 and is designed for a nominal supply voltage of 12 V. Mounting options include front-panel installation via an M19 thread with locking nut or snap-hook attachment.

Functionality
The module is driven by a dedicated driver and an integrated piezoelectric transducer. An on-board signal-processing ASIC measures time-of-flight with up to 50 samples/s. Measurement range is 18 cm to 200 cm; in pitch-and-catch mode with multiple modules, distances down to 4 cm are achievable. Field-of-view (FoV) is ±35° and can be configured for specific measurement scenarios. The sensor operates reliably across varied lighting conditions, including direct sunlight, and its measurements are largely independent of target color or translucence.

Applications

• Obstacle detection and collision avoidance in mobile systems (e.g., autonomous mobile robots, AGVs)
• Distance and level measurement in stationary systems
