SU, UK, UT and TU series round body and UQ series cubic plastic ultrasonic distance sensors emit a sound impulse and measure the elapsed time of the returned echo signal reflected from a detected object. The ultrasonic beam is well reflected by almost all materials (metal, wood, plastic, glass, liquid, etc.) and is not affected by colored, transparent, or shiny objects.
UHZ series thru-beam ultrasonic sensors use sound wave technology and are specifically designed for applications with limited mounting space. Thru-beam pair sensors are often the most accurate and reliable sensor configurations.

LVITs are contactless devices with no friction issues or moving parts that can wear out. LVITs exhibit outstanding repeatability, with resolution limited only by the electronics used with them. All of these transducers have a single output of 0-10V or 4-20mA (depending on model).
The Alliance LVIT proprietary SenSet™ process provides the ability to match the end points of the sensor's analog output with the ends of the range of motion of a workpiece or the ram of a hydraulic cylinder to which the sensor is attached. The SenSet™ feature permits the user to optimize the position measuring system resolution over the full range of motion.
