Baumer UEDK 30P5103/S14 Ultrasonic Sensor

The UEDK 30P5103/S14: 10234440 by Baumer is an advanced ultrasonic through beam sensor engineered for applications that demand fast response times and high repeatability in object detection. Operating as the receiver unit in a through-beam pair, this sensor delivers consistent performance across a scanning range of 0 to 700 mm. It operates on a 12–30 VDC power supply and features a PNP complementary output capable of handling up to 200 mA. With a response time of less than 5 ms, it supports high-speed detection in automated production lines where timing accuracy is critical.

The Baumer UEDK 30P5103/S14 incorporates a potentiometer adjustment mechanism for simple range fine-tuning, and a green LED indicator provides clear visual feedback during operation. Its repeat accuracy is rated at 3 mm, and typical hysteresis is 5 mm, ensuring reliable and stable switching points. The sensor’s compact rectangular housing is made from a durable blend of polyester and die-cast zinc, offering a robust structure suitable for tough industrial settings. Measuring 30 mm wide, 65 mm long, and 18.5 mm deep, it’s easy to mount on conveyor lines, filling machines, or detection gates, and its M12 connector allows quick, secure integration into existing systems.

With an IP67 protection rating and an operating temperature range of 0°C to +60°C, the UEDK 30P5103/S14 performs reliably in dusty, wet, and temperature-variable environments. It’s a trusted choice across packaging, food processing, bottling lines, and electronics manufacturing, where optical sensors may fail. The Baumer UEDK 30P5103/S14 is widely used in automated environments where traditional optical sensors may be impacted by dust, steam, or transparent materials. As a through-beam ultrasonic receiver, it works in tandem with a dedicated emitter to accurately detect objects that interrupt the sound wave, making it suitable for high-speed part counting, presence detection, and packaging verification.

Industrial automation engineers install this sensor in conveyor lines, liquid filling machines, and plastic film detection systems, where it ensures reliable performance even with highly reflective or irregular surfaces. The fast response time (<5 ms) makes it ideal for bottling plants and labeling machines that require real-time feedback for accurate part ejection or stopping. The potentiometer-based sensitivity control is especially helpful for maintenance engineers who need to fine-tune the sensing range on the shop floor.

For Indian junior and senior maintenance engineers and engineering students, this model represents a practical and versatile ultrasonic solution that replaces traditional optical detection in challenging conditions. Whether you're upgrading from a mechanical switch or building a smart system from scratch, the UEDK 30P5103/S14 ensures robust performance, low maintenance, and precise object detection in your automation workflow.
