Pressure Measurement & Control


Innovative pressure sensing from Contrinex

May 2013 Pressure Measurement & Control

Contrinex’s high-pressure inductive sensors are suitable for continuous duty at pressures up to 500 bar (1000 bar peak pressure), ensuring reliable, accurate sensing in the most demanding pneumatic and hydraulic applications. Available with classic metal housing or one-piece, stainless-steel construction, these high-pressure sensors are ideal for piston control applications where space is at a premium.

Product features:

* Miniature sizes M5 and M8.

* Long operating distances up to 3 mm.

* Low risk of mechanical damage.

* Durable ceramic face in stainless steel housing.

* Resistant to pressure cycles.

* Gas tight sensing face – no gas or liquid penetration.

* Resistant to vacuum without degassing.

* Large temperature range from -25 to 100°C.

Customer benefits:

* Monitoring of cylinder position.

* Controlled piston deceleration.

* Increased lifetime of the piston due to collision avoidance at end of stroke.

* Reduced maintenance costs.

* Lower operating noise.

* Avoidance of pressure peaks increases lifetime of hydraulic tubes.

* No complex mechanics means easy installation.

* No moving parts or contacts.
