Miniature transducer offers maximum
sensitivity
The Model 8520A rugged, piezoresistive pressure transducer achieves the highest sensitivity in its class using silicon strain gages bonded to a micromachined silicon diaphragm.
Endevco's Model 8520A rugged, piezoresistive pressure transducer achieves the highest sensitivity in its class using silicon strain gages bonded to a micromachined silicon diaphragm The Model 8520A combines excellent linearity (to 2x range) with very high resonance, making it ideal for a wide range of static or dynamic pressure measurements
Its miniature diameter 3.8mm is especially suited to measuring skin pressures on aircraft, inlet distortion pressures in turbine engines or small-scale models in wind tunnels.
The Model 8520A offers superior performance in high temperatures up to +260C and can operate with diminished lifetime to +316C.
The Model 8520A vents to the atmosphere or to a standard reference manifold, or for differential pressure measurements.
High levels of stability are maintained during temperature transients.
