PSF160 Semi Flush Miniature Pressure Sensor

The PSF160 series is designed for highly dynamic pressure measurements. Thanks to a semi-flush construction, the pressure diaphragm is exposed, in direct contact with the medium, with reduced dead volume. Being all titanium, it is compatible with most media including corrosive fluids used in industry. Unamplified (mV/V output) or equipped with the latest signal conditioning technologies from EFE (0-5 and 0.5-4.5Vdc outputs), it is able to measure very dynamic pressure spikes. Its thin film sensitive element ensures high performances and stability over wide temperature range. Models with built-in electronics (power supply : 8-30Vdc), being low consumption ( < 10mA) and with high bandwidth capabilities are particularly adapted to embedded applications.

FEATURES

  • High natural frequency up to 120kHz
  • Operating from -40 to +125°C

Applications

  • Automotive – on vehicle
  • Aerospace

EFE has been developing and manufacturing a complete range of pressure sensors since 1973. They have designed their proprietary advanced sensing technologies and created a unique range of high performance and miniature pressure transducers.

With over 35 years of experience, EFE have developed a unique range of miniature and sub-miniature pressure transducers. This complete range includes:
– Low pressure (from 100 mbar), high pressure (up to 3000 bar) and negative/positive pressure ranges (from –1 bar).
– Unamplified sensors,
– Transducers with analogue or digital built-in electronics
– Standard or high accuracy with digitally corrected transducers offering ultimate total error band including all errors in the compensated temperature range (0.1% fs).
– Large temperature capability: from –60°C to 260°C for unamplified sensors and –55°C to +175°C for amplified transducers.
– High dynamic capability with semi-flush diaphragms
– High performance built-in electronics adapted to on-board applications (8-16V or 8-30V power supply), high bandwidth capability (up to 5 or 10 kHz), low noise, low consumption (<10 mA) and related protection.
– All stainless steel, titanium or inconel construction allowing compatibility with corrosive media
– Robust construction proven in the harshest environments

Applications where space is limited and weight critical : gear box & engine development, satellite, missile, aerospace, motorsport.
