New Arrival APOLLO 2197266 Ultrasonic Slope Sensor for Asphalt Paver Grade Control Systems

APOLLO 2197266 Ultrasonic Slope Sensor Restores Accurate Grade Control on Asphalt Pavers

A fresh batch of the APOLLO 2197266 ultrasonic slope sensor is now in stock, giving paving contractors, rental fleets and equipment dealers a dependable way to bring automatic grade and slope control back to full accuracy. The 2197266 is supplied as a 100% new unit manufactured in Japan and is engineered as a direct replacement for the original sensor installed on a wide range of tracked and wheeled asphalt pavers. Because the mounting pattern, connector and signal output follow the original design, maintenance teams can swap the part on site without fabricating brackets, rewiring the harness or rebuilding control parameters.

Why the 2197266 Sensor Matters on Every Paving Pass

Automatic grade control depends entirely on the quality of the reference signal feeding the screed controller. A drifting or intermittent sensor forces the operator back to manual correction, which quickly shows up as waves, depressions and over-thickness in the finished mat. The 2197266 addresses that risk with four practical design strengths:

• Non-contact ultrasonic measurement: the sensor measures distance to a steel skid, a tensioned wire rope or the existing mat without touching the reference, so there is no mechanical wear and no error introduced by surface debris.
• Stable repeatable readings: filtered output keeps the signal clean while the paver vibrates, so the controller receives consistent slope and elevation data across the full paving width.
• Sealed housing for harsh sites: the enclosure resists radiant heat from hot mix, airborne dust, water spray and continuous machine vibration.
• Fast field replacement: standardised mounting and plug-in electrical connection keep downtime to a minimum, which matters when a paving train is waiting.

Compatibility and Installation Notes

The 2197266 is used on the grade and slope control circuits of many European and Japanese paver platforms, including machines from Vögele, Dynapac, Bomag and Caterpillar. It suits both steel-track and wheeled pavers working with skid, wire-rope or averaging-shoe references. Installation is straightforward: isolate the control circuit, remove the failed sensor from its bracket, fit the new unit to the same mounting points, reconnect the original harness and run a short calibration pass on the reference. In most cases the machine is back on grade within one working shift.

Supply, Packing and Delivery

Every unit is inspected before dispatch, packed with shock-proof protection for international courier and air freight, and shipped with commercial invoice and packing list for smooth customs clearance. Single-piece orders are welcome for urgent breakdowns, and consolidated shipments can be arranged for distributors holding stock for multiple machines.
