Pressure sensors

Operating principle of pressure sensors

Pressure sensors belong to the category of process sensors, and are often also referred to as pressure switches. Usable in a variety of applications, the robust and wear-free pressure sensors convert measured physical pressure into an electronic output signal for display on a digital or analog readout.

Consequently there are numerous applications for pressure sensors, such as:

• Hydraulic applications
• Pneumatic applications
• Pressure testing in factory automation and refrigerating technology
• Pressure monitoring in machine tool construction and the food industry
• Vacuum and pressure monitoring in pneumatics of robotics and handling technology
