Our smallest ultrasonic transducer
SC049 – Maximum performance with minimum size
With a component size of just 6 x 5 millimeters, we present our smallest ultrasonic transducer – the multi-use transducer SC049.
Its minimal outer diameter of just 6 millimeters makes it possible for the first time to combine an ultrasonic transducer with an M8 housing. This means that it fits into even the smallest assemblies.
The SC049 typically operates in a range of 20 to 300 millimeters, closing the gap between capacitive sensors and the ultrasonic transducers in our range.
The minimal blind zone makes it ideal for use over short measuring distances. Thanks to its excellent tuning, it also boasts a very short settling and decay time, which enables high repetition rates.
With its comparatively large beam width, it operates with a large detection range and works reliably even in drifts.

Customizability
Housing
- Direct mounting in customer housing: Uncomplicated mounting or direct encapsulation with perfect alignment in your individual assembly.
- Polyurethane molded part: Inexpensive and geometrically flexible thanks to potting in polyurethane cylinders.
- Brass sleeve: Excellent EMC properties when installed in our solderable brass sleeve.
- Potting with contour: Simple, geometrically flexible installation in assembly thanks to potting in PU molded part with sealing lip.
Contacting
- Coaxial strands: Shielded coaxial cables with excellent EMC properties – especially with long strands.
- Teflon/PVC strands: Flexibly adaptable, resistant, cost-effective and twisted on request.
- Extra shielding strand: Additional strand on the conductive housing for separate electrical potential.
Additional equipment
- EMC coating: Additional metallization of the fitting material body for improved electromagnetic compatibility.
- Front surface coating: Sealing of the front surface with scratch-resistant, dirt-repellent protective lacquer.

How can you use the SC049…
…design miniaturized?
A few millimeters in size allow integration into practically any assembly.
…save energy?
Lowest energy consumption thanks to the smallest piezoceramic transducer.
…measure at high speed?
Short rise and decay times for fast measurements at high repetition rates.
Applications from practice
Level measurement
Fast and contactless determination of fill levels even in small containers.
Automation
Distance measurement and presence monitoring in automated production lines.
Flow measurement
Wear-free transit time differential measurement for air and gases, e.g. also in medical technology.
