Datasensing proudly unveils the UFK series-rugged M18 ultrasonic sensors built to thrive in the toughest conditions. With robust IP69K protection and a full-length AISI316L stainless steel housing, these high-performance sensors exceed the demands of advanced industrial applications, delivering critical data where standard sensors fail.
UFK ultrasonic sensors have widespread use in the following industries:
Food & Beverage: Thanks to the IP69K rating, AISI316L housing and meeting stringent ECOLAB approvals, they provide risk-free performance without any possible damage caused by the cleaning process.
Chemical and Oils: Thanks to the robust housing and welded front end, they withstand any ingress from fine powders, liquids or vapours.
UFK1 is your game changer ultrasonic sensor!

Remote Teach-in or IO-LinkIn standard sensors, the pushbutton for adjustment presents a critical weak point for leak tightness. With IO-Link, sensitivity adjustment and remote Teach-in can be carried out remotely, providing superior durability by eliminating the need for any buttons. By remote teach-in it is possible to set the working distance and output status. By IO-LINK is possible to set and monitor all the product characteristics and collect application data for analysis and preventive maintenance. |
Full-lenght AISI316L housingOils and hydrocarbons can potentially destroy plastic seals and transducers, making the sensor useless if chemicals penetrate and damage internal electronics. Full-length AISI316L stainless steel housing protects the sensor from chemicals, liquids or vapors. Moreover, thanks to the metal plug, UFK is more resistant than standard UK sensors to mechanical stresses due to installation and machinery vibrations. |

IP69K protection degreeStandard sensors can be damaged by high-pressure or steam washdowns. The full-length IP69K AISI316L housing also protects the unit during exposure to these tough cleaning procedures. UFK is designed for Clean-In-Place applications: it is not necessary to protect the sensor before starting the cleaning process. |
ECOLAB approvalsCleaning agents and disinfectants (acid, alkalis, foams, peroxides) can damage the seals on the sensor. The sensor is tested with the use of several ECOLAB cleaning agents: • P3-topactive OKTO, • P3-topax 66, • P3-topax 990, • Topactive 200, • Topaz AC3, • Topaz MD5

Avoid unhygienic depositSmooth stainless steel sensing face prevents unhygienic deposits. This makes also difficult for drops and condensation to contaminate the sensing face. |
Wide range of choices• UFK series is available in 12 different models to match all possible customers’ requirements. • Two different sensing distance: 50…400 mm for UFK1A and 100…1000 mm for UKF1B. • Sensitivity adjustment by IO-LINK or Teach-in input • Single output: PNP, Voltage 0…10 V or Current 4…20 mA • Mixed output: IO-LINK + PNP, IO-LINK+0…10 V and IO-LINK+4…20 mA
