Ultrasonic Sensors - Standard Air Transducers
 

Open Types - 
Provide high sensitivity and sound pressure level, wide bandwidth, excellent durability in wide temperature/humidity ranges, and high stability in electrical/mechanical characteristics. Very suitable for continual wave driving, such as Doppler motion detectors. 
 
Enclosed Types - 
Can be used for outdoor applications or in dusty environments. Enclosed in a metal housing, the back of the transducer is completely sealed with resin, protecting from exposure to harsher environments. Although watertight, these are not suitable for underwater applications. 
 
Pulse Transit Types - 
Designed specifically to be transceivers, these open or enclosed types have extra damping built internally. They are ideal for echo ranging systems, having low ringing characteristics when compared to the standard transmitter/receiver types. 
 
Wide Bandwidth Type - 
For use where application requires a wider bandwidth. 
 
Mirror Bender Type -  
Dual sensor unit housing 45 degree acoustic delay mirror. The ringing of the transmitter is offset by this delay path which, theoretically, means objects can be measured at very close distances. 
 
Air Coupling Types - 
With higher frequencies, these transducers are designed specially for proximity sensing applications. A special acoustic matching layer of quarter wavelength is an intermediate between the piezo element and the air, as an impedance bridge to convert acoustical energy efficiently. 
 
Accessories -
