Pressure sensors and transmitters

System description

Sensors for industrial applications The complete range of electronic pressure and Vacuum sensors is available for Hydraulic and Pneumatic solutions. The sensors are integrated into the process by means of G 1/4 internal or external thread and with adapters in different sizes. Due to their versatility, ifm pressure and vacuum sensors can be used in various applications and they can be adapted to users’ requirements worldwide. This also means that additional thread sizes, which are typical in other countries, are available. PN series The robust pressure sensors for positive or negative pressures and the combined units of the PN series for hydraulic and pneumatic applications ensure trouble-free, reliable operation. The tried-and-tested ceramic-capacitive measuring principle makes this series immune to overload operation and high pressure peaks. Furthermore it guarantees maximum life. The structured menu navigation and the 4-digit alphanumeric 10-segment display allow easy operation adapted to the user’s needs. This concept has been appreciated by ifm customers worldwide for more than ten years. The units of this series feature an interface by means of which all data and parameters can be monitored via PC and stored for documentation (for further information please refer to the specific product pages under “FDT Container program”). Depending on the version everything is available in the PN series – from binary switching outputs to scaleable analogue outputs and analogue input. PP series ifm also offers solutions for places which are difficult to access in installations and Machines, or in mobile applications. The pressure sensors of the PP series have an integrated interface by means of which the operator can read data from the unit and can carry out parameterisation. This interface can be accessed on site or from longer distances by means of the ifm Container program (for further information please refer to the specific product pages under “FDT Container program”). An AS-i compatible pressure sensor is also available in this series. PA series If processing only of analogue values of a system pressure is required, ifm offers the pressure transmitters of the PA series. PK series Handling and mounting of the new PK series with the new easy turn operating concept is ingeniously simple. The set and reset points of the two complementary outputs can be set by means of the radial setting rings without pressure being applied. An additional version with two independent switching outputs and a fixed hysteresis of 2 % underlines the variety of applications for this series. These innovative pressure sensors with welded stainless steel measuring cell without any Seals enable more than 50 million reliable switching cycles with a price / performance ratio which is a real alternative to mechanical Pressure switches.

The display: The 4-digit, alphanumeric 10-segment display shows the system pressure at a glance.

The easy turn operating concept: There is no easier way. Set and reset point adjustment with only two turns.
