SICK UM18-211167101 UM18 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor, 0-10 V
Description
UM18-211167101 is a SICK UM18 ultrasonic distance sensor (part no. 6072877). It measures the distance to an object from the travel time of a sound pulse and reports it as voltage output (0 V … 10 V, ≥ 100,000 Ω). Operating range, limiting range: 30 mm … 250 mm, 350 mm; response time 32 ms; connection Male connector, M12, 4-pin.
Distance measurement with the UM18-211167101
Dust, steam and strong air movement reduce the echo and can make the reading jump; filtering or averaging in the controller helps where the process is turbulent. The analog output is scaled by teaching two points, so the zero and full-scale values follow the real process range rather than the sensor’s physical range. Ultrasonic sensors time the echo of a sound pulse, so the reading does not depend on target colour and is largely independent of surface finish. This type lists a temperature drift of 0.17 % / K.
On the UM18-211167101 the resolution is ≥ 0.2 mm, repeatability ± 0.15 %, accuracy ± 1 % and the output time is 8 ms. The ultrasonic frequency is typically 320 kHz. Configurable functions: teach-in of analog output; Invertable analog output; Reset to factory default.

Type code UM18-211167101 and part number 6072877
The digits after the family name in UM18-211167101 are not a range in millimetres; read the operating range from the table. The seven-digit number 6072877 is the order key, and a version with a current output and one with a voltage output are different items.

Mounting, wiring and set-up notes
Plan for DC 15 V … 30 V at the terminals, IP65 / IP67 enclosure protection and an operating ambient of –25 °C … +70 °C. Current draw is ≤ 1.2 W. The body measures 18 mm x 18 mm x 52.7 mm and weighs 15 g. Indication: 2 x LED. Mount the transducer square to the target; a tilt of a few degrees can already lose the echo on a smooth surface. Protect the transducer face from mechanical damage and aggressive cleaning agents, and keep it free of condensation or build-up.

About brand
Machine builders have relied on SICK since 1946 for the sensors that tell a controller where a part, a pallet or a person is. The company, based in Waldkirch, Germany, makes photoelectric, inductive and magnetic sensors, distance sensors and safety devices. Seven Star LLC supplies SICK sensors to maintenance teams and integrators in Oman, mostly as exact replacements identified by type code and part number.
SICK sensor families on this page
Five of the SICK families listed here are described below. The W4 miniature photoelectric sensors include the WTB4-3, a proximity sensor with background suppression. IME is the standard inductive proximity line, and the IME18 is the M18 housing size. RZT7 cylinder sensors fit T-slot pneumatic cylinders and detect the piston magnet. The DT35 belongs to the Dx35 laser distance sensors for mid-range measurement. The microScan3 is a safety laser scanner that guards hazardous zones around machines and vehicles.
Where SICK sensors are used
SICK sensors are fitted on packaging and bottling lines, conveyors, palletizers, warehouse cranes and automated guided vehicles. Safety laser scanners protect robot cells and transfer cars. In process plants, the same proximity and cylinder sensors report valve and damper positions on packaged equipment.
Ordering SICK sensors: what we need
A SICK type code such as IME18-08NPSZW2K packs the whole specification into one string: housing size, sensing range, flush or non-flush mounting, output type and connection. Each variant also has a 7-digit part number, and that number is the safest identifier. Please send:
- Type code and part number from the sensor label, or a photo of it
- Output type (PNP or NPN, normally open or closed) and connection (cable length or M8/M12 plug)
- For microScan3: variant (Core or Pro), interface, protective field range, plus system plug and bracket
We check the code in SICK's documentation and tell you if the manufacturer lists a successor.
