What is Fail Safe Condition in Pressure Switches ?
The resistor circuit according to NAMUR offers an additional diagnostic function (“fail-safe”) with short-circuit and cable break detection, which is of special interest for safety-critical systems such as braking systems, hydrostatic steering systems, fire extinguishing systems or automated control valves. According to DIN EN 60947-5-6 (VDE 0660 part 212), NAMUR is a switching contact with […]
How does a plasma cleaner work for pressure switches and transducers
SUCO now offers plasma-cleaned pressure switches and transmitters in the purity levels “oil and grease-free“ e.g. for oxygen applications and “PWIS-free” for coating processes. Liquid or gaseous oxygen (O2) in compressed form is an essential component of many medical applications,such as respiratory or anesthesia equipment. In autogenous welding or cutting, an oxygen-gas mixture is ignited […]
SUCO Introduces World’s Most Compact ATEX Pressure Switch
With the new ATEX series 0342 / 0343, SUCO introduces two compact explosion-proof pressure switches with flameproof enclosure. The new ATEX pressure switches are based on the well-proven product series 0340/0341, which have gained an excellent reputation in the fields of mechanical engineering, food industry as well as chemical and medical technology. Product Specification […]
What is a Compound Pressure Transducer (+/-) ?
The compound pressure includes both a positive and a negative pressure range (vacuum) and thus enables a total pressure measurement across zero pressure. The reference point of a compound pressure transducer is set to ambient pressure. Its flexible diaphragm allows a linear output signal from vacuum (-1 bar / -14.7 PSI) through zero pressure to […]
Custom Design Pressure Transducers
You wouldn’t believe the number of applications that require a Pressure Transducer. All over the world, in industries from food processing to space rockets, pressures need to be measured. So it’s no surprise that sometimes a standard pressure transmitter design won’t fit. The benefits of a custom designed solution include better efficiency, easier installation, increased […]
