SICK UM12-1192271 Sensor
SICK UM12-1192271 cylindrical ultrasonic distance sensor, part 6053549. Bore-mount detection independent of color, gloss and transparency.
Overview
The SICK UM12-1192271 (part number 6053549) is a cylindrical ultrasonic distance sensor. It measures distance and detects objects using sound waves, delivering reliable results on transparent, glossy and dark targets, with a compact barrel format that mounts through a standard bore.
How It Works
The transducer emits an ultrasonic pulse and listens for the echo. The runtime between emission and echo determines the distance to the target. Switching thresholds convert the measurement into object detection signals. Sound reflection requires no optical reflectivity, so nearly any material can be detected.
Key Features
- Cylindrical ultrasonic format for bore mounting
- Part number 6053549

Installation and Setup Notes
Mount the barrel with the transducer face clear of the mounting bore so the sound cone is not clipped. Set the switching threshold with the real target, and remember that sound-absorbing materials like thick foam reduce the echo. Avoid installing directly next to loud ultrasonic noise sources.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it measure foam-covered liquids?
Dense foam absorbs ultrasound; position the sensor where foam is minimal or verify with the actual medium.
Does it work in bright sunlight?
Yes, ultrasonic sensing is unaffected by ambient light.
What mounting is required?
A standard cylindrical bore with the included nuts, keeping the transducer face unobstructed.
