Latest technology and inductive measuring techniques
Pressure sensors, also called pressure transmitters, are based on the latest piezoresistive foil strain gauges and inductive measurement technology. Pressure sensors can be used for a wide variety of media and applications, such as monitoring water pressure or measuring pitot pressure. In aerospace engineering, our piezoresistive pressure sensors help distribute pressure across the wing’s surface. They are also used in braking systems for cars and in gas turbine tests. Pressure sensors are available with analog or digital outputs for measurement ranges between 0.5 mbar and 12,000 bar.
We offer standard pressure sensors but can also help you with a customized desin or a complete measurement solution.
Pressure sensors are devices that detect and measure the pressure of a gas or liquid. They convert the physical pressure into an electrical signal, enabling accurate pressure monitoring and control in various applications. Pressure sensors utilize different technologies such as strain gauges, capacitive sensors, piezoelectric, or resonant frequency principles. They play a vital role in ensuring safety, optimizing processes, and enabling precise measurements. Pressure sensors work based on the principle of detecting and converting physical pressure into an electrical signal. These sensors utilize different technologies to achieve this. One common technology is the strain gauge principle. Strain gauge pressure sensors consist of a thin conductive film bonded to a flexible diaphragm. When pressure is applied, the diaphragm deflects, causing strain in the conductive film. This strain alters the electrical resistance of the strain gauge, which is then measured and converted into an electrical signal representing the applied pressure.
