Pressure sensor for pneumatic applications
The PQ Cube is the ideal choice for pneumatic applications of any kind. The PQ Cube is the ideal choice for pneumatic applications of any kind. Whether on vacuum and gripping applications or on maintenance units - the PQ Cube impresses with its long-lasting performance.
Not only the inner values are convincing. The 1” display clearly shows process values in various layouts, while switch points are signalled via the LEDs. Set-up is also quick and easy with the installation wizard.
The PQ Cube in detail
Product benefits of the PQ Cube
For universal use
The PQ Cube, with its market-proven measuring cell, is suitable for a wide range of pneumatic applications, which include maintenance units, grippers and cylinder pressure monitoring.
Full graphic 1” TFT display and switch point LEDs
Process values, switch points and other information available via IO-Link can be read at a glance on the display. Different display layouts with a clear red-green colour change can be flexibly selected for visualisation.
Installation wizard
The PQ pressure sensor can be set up quickly and easily using the installation wizard. The wizard guides you through the set-up process in a total of 9 languages and asks for all the relevant attributes for your application. Subsequent and further changes can be made flexibly via IO-Link or on the device itself using the 3 buttons.

Applications
Compressed air treatment
The treatment of compressed air is an essential factor for the functionality and service life of pneumatic systems. Thanks to the sophisticated mounting concept, the pressure sensor can be installed in your maintenance unit without the need for adapters, making it an ideal component for compressed air treatment.
Via the full graphic 1" display you can see at all times whether the process values are within the target range.
Monitoring and measurement of the system pressure
For smooth operation of your plant the PQ Cube monitors the system pressure reliably in a measuring range from -1 up to 16 bar.
Operation and set-up of the sensor is quick and easy via the 3 buttons and the intuitive menu navigation. Set-up is supported by the installation wizard, which is available in 9 different languages.
Vacuum and gripping applications
In vacuum and gripping applications characterised by rapid changes in direction, the PQ Cube always remains functional thanks to its robustness. What is more, the red/green colour change of the display provides a clear visualisation of the process value. In this way, the plant operator can immediately see whether the object has been picked up correctly or not.
When installing the sensors you can choose between wall, DIN rail and panel mounting.
Flexible mounting options
Added value thanks to IO-Link
- Transparent processes
In addition to the current pressure, the device and media temperature are also output acyclically via IO-Link. This makes it easy to keep an eye on your process at all times. - Logging and simulation of process values and events
In addition to displaying and logging the process values, various events can also be recorded and simulated via IO-Link. These include the operating hours since start-up, the number of overpressure events and the switching cycles on both outputs. - Loss-free data transmission with connection technology without shielding
IO-Link enables loss-free data transmission, as conversion losses are excluded via digital communication and external influences, such as magnetic fields, have no effect on data transmission. - Flexible configuration remotely or directly on the HMI
The pressure sensor can be configured quickly and easily via IO-Link - either remotely or during the process.
