Price & Availability It operates with a nominal sensing range of 25 mm and a maximum range of 60 mm, making it ideal for short-range applications such as object detection in confined spaces, fill level monitoring in small containers, and position sensing in automated machinery. The sensor uses ultrasonic sound waves to detect objects regardless of color, transparency, or surface finish, ensuring consistent performance even with challenging materials like glass, plastic, or liquids. This model features a cylindrical M18 housing with a 5-pin M12 connector, providing easy integration into existing control systems. It operates on a supply voltage of 10-30 V DC and outputs a digital switching signal (PNP/NPN) with a maximum output current of 100 mA. The sensor is protected against reverse polarity, short circuits, and overvoltage, ensuring robust operation in harsh industrial conditions. With an IP67 enclosure rating, it is resistant to dust and temporary immersion in water, making it suitable for washdown environments. The VUWS-LT25-M52-M-N14 is designed for easy setup with its teach-in button, allowing users to configure the sensing range and output logic without additional software. Its compact size and lightweight design (approximately 30 g) make it easy to mount in tight spaces. The sensor operates in a temperature range of -25°C to +70°C, ensuring reliable performance in a variety of industrial settings. Whether used in packaging machinery, material handling, or automotive assembly lines, this ultrasonic sensor delivers accurate and repeatable detection, reducing downtime and improving process efficiency. The SICK VUWS-LT25-M52-M-N14 is a compact ultrasonic sensor from the VUWS series, designed for reliable presence detection and level monitoring in industrial environments. Basic Product Information Sensing range up to 60 mm with blind zone of 10 mm Digital output (PNP/NPN) with adjustable via teach-in button IP67 protection for harsh industrial environments Wide operating temperature range from -25°C to +70°C Reverse polarity, short circuit, and overvoltage protection Compact M18 cylindrical housing for easy installation in tight spaces Technical Specifications Version & Model Difference The VUWS-LT25-M52-M-N14 is part of the SICK VUWS series, which includes several models with different sensing ranges and output configurations. Compared to other VUWS models like the VUWS-LT25-M52-M-N10 (which has a different connector type) or the VUWS-LT25-M52-M-N14 (with NPN output), this specific model features a 5-pin M12 connector and a digital output that can be configured as PNP or NPN via the teach-in button. The 'N14' suffix indicates the specific output logic and connection variant. For applications requiring analog output, SICK offers the VUWS-LT25-M52-M-A14 model, which provides a 4-20 mA analog signal. The VUWS series is designed for short-range detection, while SICK's UM30 or UC4 series offer longer ranges for different applications. Application Scenarios Can the output of this sensor be configured as PNP or NPN? Yes, the VUWS-LT25-M52-M-N14 features a digital output that can be set to either PNP or NPN using the teach-in button. This flexibility allows it to interface with various PLC inputs and control systems. Is the sensor suitable for outdoor use? The sensor has an IP67 enclosure rating, which means it is dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion in water. However, the operating temperature range is -25°C to +70°C, so it may not be suitable for extreme outdoor conditions without additional protection. What type of connector does the sensor use? It uses a 5-pin M12 connector, which is a common industrial standard. You can use standard M12 cables to connect the sensor to your control system, and the pinout is typically: Pin 1 = brown (L+), Pin 2 = white (output), Pin 3 = blue (M), Pin 4 = black (Q), Pin 5 = gray (C/Q). What is the sensing range of the SICK VUWS-LT25-M52-M-N14? The nominal sensing range is 25 mm, and the maximum sensing range is 60 mm. The blind zone is 10 mm, meaning objects must be at least 10 mm away from the sensor face to be detected reliably.
