Radar Sensors for Object Detection and Distance Measurement

Radar sensors

122 GHz radar technology Near-field object detection Distance measurement

With the Balluff BRS radar sensor in an M30 housing, Balluff sets new benchmarks in industrial sensing. The sensor uses state-of-the-art 122 GHz radar technology and has been developed for applications that were previously not feasible or only possible with limitations.

It combines the benefits of radar technology for near-field radar object detection and precise distance measurement. Thanks to its robust M30 housing with IP69K protection as well as IO-Link and analog interfaces, the sensor is perfectly equipped for industrial use.

Flexibility through IO-Link and analog interface
Digital communication where possible — analog signals where necessary — plus diagnostics and parameterization via IO-Link.

Technical details and benefits of the M30 radar sensor

Key performance points designed for reliable detection and measurement in industrial environments.

Performance highlights

High accuracy and resolution with excellent separation of objects — reliable detection of even the smallest parts
Measurement frequency up to 1 kHz — capable of detecting more than 100,000 objects per hour
Blind zone of only 300 mm (depending on target object and environmental conditions)

Designed for industrial use

Narrow detection beam of just 10° (elevation and azimuth) — optimal focus on the target object
Robust M30 housing with IP69K — resistant even in harsh environments
IO-Link + analog interface — maximum flexibility for parameterization, diagnostics, and output

Integration note: IO-Link enables easy integration into modern control systems, flexible parameterization, and transmission of diagnostic data. Combined with an analog interface, you can standardize on one sensor family across mixed installations.

Available version (overview)

Below is a practical, spec-style overview of the available radar sensor version on the referenced Balluff page.

Quick selection: confirm range, blind zone, and beam angle first — then choose IO-Link and/or analog output to match your PLC/IO setup.

Version / Order code	Housing	Range / measuring range	Interface / output	Materials
BRS0002 BRS S-M30S04-0301-LA2-000S04	M30x1.5 Industrial M30 housing	15000 mm Long measuring range	IO-Link + analog Parameterization + analog signal output	1.4404 stainless steel / PEEK Robust build

Selection guidance: for best results, validate the blind zone (≈300 mm) and beam angle (≈10°) against your fixture geometry, then select IO-Link/analog integration and confirm mounting constraints for M30.

Where are radar sensors used?

Radar sensors are used for reliable object detection and distance measurement when you need stable measurement behavior and strong target separation — including fast-moving processes and compact installations with limited space.

Typical applications

Counting and detecting small parts at high throughput
Distance measurement for positioning and monitoring
Presence detection and separation of closely spaced objects
Harsh environments where a robust IP69K housing is required

Why teams choose the BRS M30 radar sensor

Up to 1 kHz measurement frequency for fast processes
Narrow 10° beam for focused detection
IO-Link diagnostics + analog flexibility in one device
Industrial robustness (M30, IP69K)

Short definition: A radar sensor detects objects and measures distance using electromagnetic waves — ideal for precise, stable measurement in industrial automation.

FAQ: Balluff radar sensors

Quick answers to help you select, mount, and integrate the radar sensor correctly.

The blind zone is the near-field distance where detection/measurement is limited. For this sensor it can be as low as 300 mm, depending on the target object and environmental conditions.

IO-Link supports parameterization, diagnostics, and digital data transfer, while analog output is useful for systems that require an analog signal. Having both provides flexibility across different machines and retrofit situations.

A narrow 10° beam (elevation and azimuth) helps the sensor focus on the intended target and improves separation of nearby objects, which is especially helpful in tight fixtures and high-density part flows.

Confirm the required measuring range (up to 15000 mm for the listed version), the blind zone, your mounting geometry, and whether you’ll use IO-Link, analog output, or both.
