The latest IQAN range of products use either thin film Hall-effect sensors, which combine excellent stability under a wide range of operating conditions with superior mechanical and electronic characteristics.
The sensors are mounted in tough stainless steel or plastic housings, complete with all signal conditioning electronics and are fully protected against shock, vibration and electro-magnetic interference (EMI).
These features help to make the IQAN products suitable for use in many different mobile and off-highway applications, from construction and forestry, to lift trucks, buses and commercial vehicles.
Parker's IQAN sensors are designed to be easy to install, with a choice of sealed electrical connectors and mounting options to reduce both build costs for OEMs and subsequent maintenance costs for end users.
The sensors can be used under extreme temperature and humidity conditions.
The IQAN-ST temperature sensor can operate at temperatures from -50 to +150C, while the IQAN-SP pressure sensor can be used between -40 and +125C.
The IQAN-ST temperature sensor has an extended output signal of 250 to 4750mV, with a pressure rating of between 300 and 700bar.
The IQAN-SP pressure sensor offers excellent linearity, hysteresis and repeatability characteristics, has a response time of 5.0msec and can be used in applications requiring up to 500bar, with an over-pressure rating of up to 1050bar and a minimum burst pressure rating of 1500bar.
