ifm's Pressure Transmitters Reliably Monitor Vehicle Hydraulic Systems

The hydraulic system of a mobile vehicle is responsible for controlling important operations such as loading and unloading, transporting, lifting, and processing. Loss in power can result in vehicle downtime and potential injury to the operator. ifm's compact PT Series pressure transmitters provide reliable pressure indication of mobile hydraulics.

The stainless steel transmitters provide an analog output (4… 20 mA and 0… 10 V). The high performance transmitters feature a gas-tight measuring cell that reliably detects pressure ranges up to 3500 psi and withstands aggressive media.

The base of the sensor incorporates a ceramic sensing element that enables over 100 million switching cycles, withstands pressure spikes, and resists corrosion. The design of the sensing element ensures excellent repeatability and accuracy across the entire operating range.

The PT Series transmitters offer a wide variety of process connection options, a long life-in-operation, and high over-pressure limits. The transmitters have high accuracy, repeatability, and overload and short circuit protection.
