SECO Sensor
Ultrasonic sensor – waterproof, weatherproof and robust
Unimpressed by extreme environmental conditions with ultrasonic transducers from SECO Sensor
Waterproof and robust?
A weather-resistant ultrasonic sensor offers advantages wherever robustness is required. SECO Sensor develops waterproof, robust and durable ultrasonic transducers for use in a wide range of industries. This means you receive reliable data even under demanding environmental conditions and can rely on the stable function of your sensors.
Ultimate protection from the elements
Whether splash water, rain, snow or other moisture influences: If sensors are affected by moisture or humidity, this can have a significant impact on their functions. Thanks to their proven design and the well-thought-out choice of materials, our ultrasonic transducers are waterproof and enable the construction of robust and environmentally insensitive sensors.
Resistance to extreme weather conditions is particularly important in wind turbines (especially offshore), road construction and agriculture.
SECO Sensor offers watertight and water-repellent transducers, which we can also mount directly and air- and watertight in your customer-specific housing on request. Depending on the transducer type and housing design, installation is possible using a sealing lip, silicone part, adhesive or direct encapsulation. Talk to us! Together we will find the right solution for your measuring idea.
How we make our transducers waterproof for your ultrasonic sensor
Installed in the sensor, the main point of attack for water and moisture is the front surface of the ultrasonic transducer. Particularly in cold and inhospitable regions, wear on the sensors can be reduced to a minimum with sophisticated weather protection. We have various options for adapting our ultrasonic transducers to extreme weather conditions. Some of these are, for example
Potting compound
Waterproof potting with our self-formulated polyurethane foams
Coating
Protective coating on the transducer front surface against contamination and water
Heater
Increases weather resistance and prevents snow and ice formation
In addition to water, ice and cold, heat, dust and tropical humidity also cause long-term problems for the sensor. In collaboration with our customers, we are constantly developing individual and robust solutions for the best possible protection of our ultrasonic transducers against challenging environmental conditions.
With various additional features or the adaptation of materials (housing, contacting, potting recipe, etc.), we achieve excellent environmental resistance and make your transducer fit for use as a robust and durable sensor.
Does your ultrasonic transducer require a particularly environmentally resistant design?
We can find a suitable solution for almost any measuring task. We equip our ultrasonic transducers with extensive additional equipment for use in extreme environments.

Thematic background – waterproof ultrasonic sensor:
Our ultrasonic transducers are used in a wide variety of sectors and industries. An ultrasonic signal can be used to determine distance and range as well as the presence of an object or the speed of a flow. Ultrasound measures without contact. As there are no moving parts, sensors with our transducers are robust and durable. We are also happy to answer your questions!
