The PSD18-410 series is optimally suited for applications where water or even aggressive media must be measured at low pressures starting at 0 - 100 mbar or at pressures up to 7 bar. The PSD18-410 is an oil-filled stainless steel sensor. With a diameter of just 18 mm, it is very compact and is especially useful in areas where precise measurements are required even when space is very limited.

The new PEWATRON KKD34-701 capacitive pressure sensor handles measurements in the range of 0 - 60 mbar and can be trimmed electronically to 0 - 12 mbar. In addition to this measurement range, it is also possible to make corrections to account for effects arising during assembly by means of an integrated interface. Parameterisation is accomplished with a Windows-compatible, menu-driven kit.

The CCD54 is an intelligent, calibrated and amplified OEM pressure sensor. Its offset correction, sensitivity, temperature drift and linearity are stored in the on-chip EEPROM directly at the factory using the latest ASIC technology. Different initial configurations are possible, such as the response time or supply voltage.

Gas sensors based on infrared absorption offer decisive advantages compared with electrochemical and catalytic sensors. The sensor principle exploits the quality of gases and absorbs infrared radiation at a specific, characteristic wavelength. The sensors work very selectively and display almost no cross-sensitivities to other gases. In contrast to other gas sensors, the module is extremely durable. The smartMODUL is available for different types...

PEWATRON launches the KMA36 universal magnetic encoder from Measurement Specialties. It seamlessly combines a magnetoresistive sensor array with an analog-to-digital converter and a signal processor in a compact TSSOP package.

Oxygen can be measured with the aid of various physical processes. The Fujikura oxygen sensor is a zirconium dioxide solid electrolyte sensor which employs the current limitation principle. In contrast to conventional solid electrolyte sensors, no reference gas is required.

PEWATRON was quick to recognise the changing times and has extended its wide range of pressure sensors by adding a large selection of digital interface sensors. Most in demand are sensors with the I2C interface. These sensors can be operated using a supply voltage in the range 2.7…5.5 VDC. The resolution is 12 bit.

PEWATRON offers the new Midori low power sensor, which is ideally suited for battery operated devices. The magnetoresistive technology allows for a superb low current consumption of 0.6 mA typical at 9 V. Thus consuming more than 20 times less current than a comparable Hall-effect based device.

The PHPSD series are piezoresistive pressure sensors with a measuring range of 0...10 mbar up to 7 bar. These sensors are available with or without temperature compensation and amplifi er, as well as with a choice of either digital or analogue output signal in each case.

PEWATRON announce the release of US Digital’s latest absolute, blind hollow bore shaft encoder, the HBA4. This single turn absolute encoder provides 16-bits of resolution over 360 degrees of shaft rotation. The HBA4 is available with a 12 mm or 0.500” diameter bore size with either a ball bearing or sleeve bushing bearing assembly and is sealed to an IP65 rating. The absolute encoder slips over a shaft and is locked in place with a unique se...

The controlled DC-DC converters of the DFED/DFEC series by Power Mate supply 15 to 60W out of a highly compact enclosure size for fi tting on a TS35-7.5/-15 mounting rail. From the wide-range inputs 2:1 (9.5-18V, 18-36V, 36-75V) or 4:1 (9.5-36V, 18-75V) onwards, simple output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, 12V and 15V, dual voltages of ±12V, ±15V as well as triple outputs of 3.3/±12V, 3.3/±15V, 5/±12V, 5/±15V are available.

PEWATRON’s new low cost 2-axis inclinometers PEI-Z210-PCB-V1 and PEI-Z215-PCB-V1 are developed for the automotive equipment market, specially the wheel aligners and wheel balancers.

The Current Converters of the HJ-A series excel by their multifunctionality, their digital interface and the little space they require on a mounting rail. The sensors of the HJ-A series meter the root mean square value (true RMS) of the current of 1 to 3 phases, as desired, and optionally also the voltage, the effective power and reactive power, the energy in kWh as well as the frequency and the power factor (cos φ).
