Types of Pressure Sensors

When it comes to pressure sensors, there is a tremendous number of choices available in today’s marketplace. All the different measuring technologies and principles that are promoted by manufacturers can make choosing the correct one a seemingly impossible task. Here we can help you to learn more about the different technologies available and how we can help you to select the optimal solution for any application. 

 

Function of a Pressure Sensor

Pressure Sensors (or pressure transducers) are components that work by converting an actual pressure value into an electrical signal. Pressure sensors are available with a variation of different sensing elements and respond to the force applied to this element by gas or liquid pressure. The force applied to the element is then measured and converted into an electrical output signal, allowing it to be monitored by PLCs, processors and other computers.

How Does A Flow Switch Work?

Flow switches (or flow sensors) are often a crucial component for any manufacturing operation. With so many different options available on the market, how can you ensure you’re getting the right device for your application? Here you can learn more about the mechanics of our flow switches and how we can help make it easy for you to select the perfect solution for your needs.

 

Operation of a Flow Switch

Taking our popular LPH Series non-adjustable flow switch as an example, when air/water flows through the unit it causes the magnetic piston to move up at the calibration point. This displacement is caused by the pressure differential from the air/water flowing through the unit. The magnetic piston actuates a hermetically sealed reed switch, which is encapsulated in the body of the unit, out of the media wetted flow path. Decreasing the flow below the calibration point causes the reed switch to de-actuate. The LPH series is a fixed set point flow switch that has a predetermined calibration point, designed to act primarily as an air flow switch or water flow switch.
