Upgrade for innovative pressure sensor range

Renowned for its innovative pressure sensors as one of the first to combine transducer and gauge into one robust package, IFM Electronic has launched new, updated models.

Renowned for its innovative pressure sensors as one of the first to combine transducer and gauge into one robust package, IFM Electronic has launched new, updated models.

For many years IFM pressure sensors have provided trouble-free operation with their robust ceramic-capacitive measuring cell.

Now, with the updated PN2 versions, IFM electronic has introduced more flexibility, of benefit to OEMs and users alike.

The enhanced display now features four-digit LED characters clearly visible from a great distance.

Usefully, the analogue output can now be scaled, in other words the analogue starting point and analogue end point mean users can select their own setting of the sensor's zero point and span.

A further improvement is in the accuracy, now 0.5% and the repeatability, now 0.1% of the full pressure range to offer the user more precise plant control.

OEMs will be pleased that the display now extends to more units (kilopascals, megapascals, pounds per square inch) and the output can be configured for positive or negative switching, allowing the system supplier to employ the same sensor regardless of the country where the machine is to be installed.

These versatile PN2 pressure sensors are available to measure pressures from 1 to 400bar.

The switching output is selectable in polarity, and the analogue output can be chosen as 0-10V or 4-20mA.

The housing and wetted parts are still made of high-grade stainless steel, complemented by ceramics and PTFE.
