Application-oriented sensor adapter system
November 2005
Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors
Jumo has developed a new adapter system to join sensor components to process connections, which is available from ASSTech Process Electronics & Instrumentation.
Nearly all the available sensing devices, such as temperature sensors, pressure transmitters etc, can be supplied with this system, which offers significant advantages for the user. In the machinery and plant manufacturing industries there are a wide variety of different measuring tasks and fitting requirements. The range of customer-specific versions that must be made available is just as large. The new Jumo PEKA adapter system now makes it possible to produce the sensors to stock, regardless of the process connection to be applied later.
The design enables assembly to be carried out so that the sensor is positioned in any direction required. The front-flush seal that is built into the adapter system can be supplied in various materials, such as FPM, EPDM or silicone. Dismantling, for calibration, etc, does not destroy the seal, which can be used a number of times.
The connection between Jumo PEKA and the process connection has been tested by the Technical University of Weihenstephan, Germany, and is suitable for applications in machinery and plant that have to fulfil hygienic specifications. CIP or SIP cleaning presents no problems. Examples of appropriate sectors are the pharmaceutical, food, and biotechnology industries.
Additional requirements for equipment in these special applications, such as materials, IP protection rating and enhanced temperatures are met. Various process connections are available to suit different applications, such as Varivent, milk cone, clamp and welding flanges, making it possible to install the devices in a very wide range of locations.
