The 200W PQ series pressure sensors from ifm electronic reliably measure in the negative and overpressure ranges in pneumatic applications. Their compact and lightweight housing provides various application options, in particular in robotics and handling. The piezo-resistive silicon measuring cell operates between -1 and 10 bar and is insensitive to liquids such as condensed water and deposits that might occur in the system.
PQ’s slanted display can be conveniently read from the front or from above. Furthermore, it can be rotated by 180°. The display colour is selectable from a choice of red or green. As example, in the acceptable range the measured value is displayed in green, which turns red when a selectable switch point is exceeded or not reached.
Two programmable switching outputs or one switching output and one diagnostic output provide flexible options. Whether free-standing, DIN rail mounted or directly fixed to a pipe, the secure fit of the PQ is ensured by the range of available mounting accessories.
Millions of tons of grease and oil in our waterways and environment igus
