Turck has introduced a new line of pressure sensors with integrated evaluation units. The rugged, IP69K rated PS300 sensors provide a wide measuring range from -1 to 600 bar, and are perfectly suited for hydraulic applications – even in harsh environments. Measuring signals are directly processed on the PS300’s newly developed high-build pressure measuring cell and digitally transferred to the fully encapsulated evaluation unit. This design offers a high level of EMC resistance and an excellent switch point accuracy of 0,5% of the full scale.
The PS300 sensors are available in G1/4“ female thread versions, or in male/female 1/4“-NPT or R1/4“ versions with digital or analog (voltage or current) outputs for all measuring ranges. Bonded seals ensure a reliable process connection. The new pressure sensors support the I/O-Link communications standard, and the VDMA menu structure is available upon request.
