Airflow sensors tackle new applications
Three additions to the D6F range of precision MEMS based air/gas mass flow and velocity sensors enable their use in a wider range of applications.
Omron Electronic Components Business - Europe has added three new models to its D6F range of precision MEMS based air/gas mass flow and velocity sensors, to enable their use in a wider range of applications Offering high-precision monitoring of airflow at 3 litre/min, the new D6F-03A3-000 is ideal for industrial applications, especially pressurised cable monitoring systems and pick and place machines in industrial automation

Distribution boxes simplify field connections
Multiport distribution boxes simplify the applied wiring of sensor actuators, enabling multiple connections in an area with just one connection going back to the controller.
Snap mounting eases sensor installation
The novel mounting system used with E3FZ sensors completely eliminates the need for nuts and screws.
Advantages of this new Omron solution include compact sise of just 37 x 8 x 17mm, low current draw of just 15mA, and stable amplified analogue output across the full scale.
The exceptionally compact size of this device makes it suitable for bypass configurations, enabling use with much higher total air/gas mass flow rates.
Omron is also offering its higher flow rate series with an RC0.25 screw port style connection.
The new A6 range, designated as D6F-10A6-000, D6F-20A6-000 and D6F-50A6-000, shares the other features of the existing A5 sensors, and is ideal for measuring air/gas mass flow rate with high repeatability, at flow rates of up to 10, 20 and 50 litre/min, respectively.
Both the A5 and A6 style sensors give precise detection of mass flows with a high repeatability of up to +/-0.2% and an accuracy of +/-3% full scale deflection.
The third addition to the range, the D6F-V03A1, is a highly efficient, low cost MEMS flow velocity sensor ideally suited to applications such as building ventilation, clogged air intake filter detection and general detection of correct fan function.
It has a compact size of 24 x 14 x 8mm and can measure air flow velocity from 0-3m/s with an accuracy of +/-10% full scale deflection.
The sensor's key attribute is its built in Dust Segregation System (DSS) which separates up to 99.5% of dry air borne particulate matter (simulation result) helping to maintain performance characteristics of the sensor over its lifetime. Request a free brochure from Omron Electronics ...
