Pressure transmitters target heavy duty hydraulics applications

A new range of stainless steel welded pressure transmitters for heavy duty hydraulics applications has been launched by instrumentation specialist Impress Sensors & Systems.

The 17.600G pressure transmitters have a stainless steel housing, pressure port and diaphragm and require no O-ring seals. They can operate in temperatures from -40 to 125°C, making them suitable for heavy duty OEM hydraulics applications, including mobile hydraulics equipment, off-highway and construction vehicles, heavy duty hydraulic presses, geotechnical testing machinery and other applications where high pressure hydraulic rams or cylinders are present. The sensors offer high overpressures (typically three times the nominal pressure rating) and so are ideal for use on mobile hydraulics equipment and heavy duty hydraulic presses, where pressure spikes or peaks are likely to occur. The device is available in nominal pressure ranges from 0 to 6bar up to 0 to 600bar. This means the sensors can measure pressures in a vacuum, as well as being resistant to vacuum conditions. The sensors also offer up to three times overpressure or higher.
