Heavy-duty pressure sensors are usually used in transportation applications to monitor the pressure, hydraulic power, flow and liquid level of key systems such as pneumatics, light-duty hydraulics, brake pressure, oil pressure, transmissions, and truck/trailer air brakes. To maintain the performance of heavy-duty equipment. At present, design engineers have to design more complex control systems that rely on more feedback signals than previous systems. Therefore, design engineers must consider components that meet the requirements of high accuracy, lower overall cost, and ease of implementation.
Honeywell PX2 series heavy-duty pressure sensors have extremely high configurability, durability and wide pressure range. Customers can choose the form and function of the sensor according to their needs, thereby reducing design and application costs, in order to calmly deal with the challenges of various applications.
In short, a heavy-duty pressure sensor is a pressure measuring device with a housing, a metal pressure interface and a high-level signal output. Many sensors are equipped with round metal or plastic housings with a cylindrical appearance, with a pressure port at one end and a cable or connector at the other end. This type of heavy-duty pressure sensor is often used in extreme temperature and electromagnetic interference environments. Customers in the industrial and transportation sectors use pressure sensors in their control systems to measure and monitor the pressure of fluids such as coolant or lubricating oil. At the same time, it can also detect pressure spike feedback in time, find problems such as system blockage, and find solutions immediately.
There are multiple solutions for heavy-duty applications. What are the overloaded environments? Here are only some specific examples, such as environments with a large temperature range (such as -40 °C to 125 °C [-40 °F to 257 °F]), including refrigerants, engine oils, brake fluids, hydraulic oils, etc. Harsh media and environments where compressed air is used. Although the above temperature ranges and harsh environments may not be the most extreme environments, they represent most of the transportation and industrial environment applications.
Honeywell's PX2 series of heavy-duty pressure sensors have excellent electromagnetic compatibility, waterproof sealing grade up to IP69K, mechanical shock grade of 100g/MIL-STD-202F, all stainless steel shell, can ensure the reliability of the vehicle in harsh environments and conditions Operation is ideal for heavy-duty vehicles.
How to choose the correct sensor
There are many types of sensors on the market and the quality is uneven, so it is necessary to compare the technical parameters of various products. Specifically, the product should be analyzed in terms of reliability, calibration, zero compensation, sensitivity, and total error range.
