  • Supply Pressure: Ranges from 20-150 psig (1.4-10.0 BAR).
  • Air Consumption: 1.8 scfh at mid-range typical.
  • Flow Capacity: Up to 20.0 scfm at 150 psig (10.0 BAR).
  • Temperature Limits: -20° to +150° F (-30° to +65° C).
Performance Specifications:
  • Linearity: Less than ±0.5% of span.
  • Hysteresis & Repeatability: Less than 0.5% of span.
  • Sensitivity: Less than 0.1% of span per 1.0 psig.
  • RFI/EMI Effect: Less than 0.5% of span change per EN 61000-4-3:1998.
Physical Specifications:
  • Port Sizes: 1/4" NPT, 1/4" BSP.
  • Media: Clean, dry, oil-free instrument air.
  • Materials: Chromate-treated aluminum housing with epoxy paint, Buna-N elastomers, stainless steel, brass, and zinc-plated steel trim.
  • Weight: Standard unit weighs 1.3 lbs (0.60 kg).
Mounting and Accessories:
  • Various mounting kits available for DIN rail and pipe mounting.
  • Type-925 multifunction supply manifold available.
Warranty: Products are warranted to be free from defects for 18 months from the date of sale, with limitations on liability.
Ordering Information: Use specific coding for output and input signal options, with additional options for electrical connections and hazardous area classifications.
Operation Principles: The Type 550X operates as a force balance device with a coil suspended in a magnetic field. Adjustments for zero and span are made via screws on the unit's front face.

Type 550X - Miniature I/P, E/P Transducer-4

Magnet Coil Flexure Nozzle Circuit Board Exhaust Valve Supply Pressure Output Pressure Pilot Pressure Atmospheric Pressure Supply Valve The Type 550X I/P, E/P Transducer is a force balance device in which a coil is suspended in a magnetic field by a flexure. Current flowing through the coil generates movement of the flexure. As this assembly moves towards the nozzle, it creates backpressure, which acts as a pilot to an integral booster relay. Input signal increases (or decreases for reverse acting) cause an accurate proportional change in output. Zero and Span are calibrated by turning adjust...
