To meet customer requirements for a 300 kHz transducer with a long range and small geometric dimensions, we are introducing the new SC031 and SC031.F multi-use transducers.
Compared to the 300kHz ultrasonic transducer SC029 of the same size, the SC031 is characterised by an echo signal that is three times as large with a large beam width. For applications that require additional signal strength, we offer the SC031.F. In direct comparison to the SC031, this has a further 30 % higher level with the same design. This is made possible, among other things, by reducing the aperture angle to one dimension. Customers keep asking us for this.
We offer the new transducers in a metal housing with solder pins as standard. This is characterised by high EM compatibility.
The housing also allows further processing via THT mounting – another customer benefit of this housing variant. However, our SECO-specific screw-in mass also makes it possible to install the transducer in your customised housing with virtually no feedback. This enables us to optimally adapt the transducer to the individual requirements of your application.
Thanks to our unique concept of our own acoustic fitting material and foaming compound, as well as the highest quality PZT ceramics in combination with experienced development and series production, you only receive ultrasonic transducers of the highest quality.

Expertise: What is an ultrasonic transducer?
An ultrasonic transducer is a device that generates and receives ultrasonic waves. Ultrasonic waves are sound waves that have a frequency higher than the range that the human ear can hear – typically above 20 kHz. The ultrasonic transducer works on the basis of piezoelectricity. Piezoelectric materials have the unique property that they deform when an electrical voltage is applied. Conversely, they generate a voltage when they are mechanically deformed. In an ultrasonic transducer, piezoelectric materials are used to generate and detect ultrasonic waves.
When the transducer acts as a transmitter, an electrical voltage is applied to the piezoelectric material. This causes it to expand and contract rapidly. This movement generates ultrasonic waves that are emitted into the surrounding medium (e.g. air, water or tissue). When the transducer acts as a receiver, the piezoelectric material converts the incoming ultrasonic waves into electrical signals.
Ultrasonic transducers are used in many areas, including medical imaging (such as ultrasound examinations), industrial testing (for material testing and detecting defects) or distance measurement.
