Baumer USDK 30D9003/S14 Ultrasonic Sensor

The USDK 30D9003/S14: 10234439 from Baumer is a high-accuracy ultrasonic emitter sensor designed to pair with a receiver in a wide-beam detection system. Operating across a scanning range of 0 to 700 mm, this sensor emits a consistent ultrasonic signal to detect the presence, absence, or position of objects in a defined path. Powered by a 12–30 VDC supply, it is well-suited for factory environments where dirt, steam, or reflective surfaces interfere with optical sensing. Its sonic frequency of 220 kHz ensures stability and clarity, especially in close-range applications.

Built for durability, the Baumer USDK 30D9003/S14 features a rugged rectangular housing made from polyester and die-cast zinc. This blend provides excellent mechanical strength and resistance to vibrations and industrial chemicals. The compact form factor—30 mm wide, 65 mm long, and 18.5 mm deep—allows easy installation into machines and control panels with limited space. Its M12 connector simplifies wiring, ensuring quick and error-free deployment in assembly lines, packaging machines, and automated storage systems. Although it functions solely as an emitter, it is designed to work seamlessly with compatible ultrasonic receivers for high-speed, wide-area object detection.

Rated IP67, the sensor is fully protected against dust and water ingress, and it maintains consistent operation in temperatures from 0°C to +60°C. Maintenance engineers trust this sensor for use in non-contact detection tasks where traditional switches or optical sensors may fail.

The Baumer USDK 30D9003/S14 is best suited for applications requiring non-contact wide-area object detection in harsh or sensitive environments. As an ultrasonic emitter, it is used in through-beam detection systems where a paired receiver identifies when the ultrasonic wave is interrupted by an object. This makes it ideal for material flow monitoring, pallet detection, and carton edge detection in fast-paced packaging or logistics lines.

Its wide beam coverage and ultrasonic technology allow it to handle targets with irregular surfaces, glossy materials, or transparent films—areas where traditional optical sensors often fail. Engineers frequently use this emitter in bottling plants, paper & film production, and automated sorting conveyors. With its compact rectangular body and robust construction, it also suits retrofit projects where space constraints or environmental resistance are priorities.

For Indian maintenance engineers and engineering students, this sensor is a reliable, easy-to-integrate option for challenging detection needs. Its role as the emitter in a paired system is critical in ensuring accurate detection across a defined sensing path. With its IP67 protection and high-frequency performance, the USDK 30D9003/S14 offers confidence in performance across diverse automation scenarios.
