The Metallux AG headquartered in basket near Stuttgart is continuously expanding its range of pressure sensors in stainless steel. Classic Piezoresistive pressure sensors made of stainless steel in monolithic design have proven especially by a high burst pressure in large areas of pressure. Meanwhile the Metallux has expanded (ratiometric) the series of thick film pressure sensors made of stainless steel to a version with reinforced output signal, 0.5 4.5 v. These monolithic sensors made of stainless steel the PLC offers an integrated connection thread 3003 series. Thanks to this thread, no welding is required. The pressure sensor is made of one piece.

This ensures a very high burst pressure. These sensors are suitable for a variety of applications, such as for example in the refrigeration, hydraulics, automation and in plant and machine construction.

Why stainless steel sensors? In many areas, is offered to replace conventional ceramic pressure sensors pressure sensors made of stainless steel. As a major disadvantage of the ceramic is their missing ductility and the high brittleness. In case of overload best ceramic membranes and the measuring medium escaping. In contrast to this is a plastic deformation at the stainless steel pressure sensors first. Stainless steel sensors are also attached in not using the elastomer seal, but welding technical. The removal of the seals is suitable especially for applications in the field of hydraulic or refrigeration.
