TEST & MEASUREMENT Pressure and temperature monitoring solutions

Sensor technology Key components of Trafag pressure transmitters are pressure sensors based on thin-filmon-steel technology (welded design without O-ring) or thick-film-on-ceramic technology. Both sensor technologies come from Trafag’s own production and were developed inhouse together with the ASIC (application-specific microchip). As a result, pressure sensors and electronics work in perfect partnership and achieve a unique level of long-term stability and reliability, even under the most adverse environmental conditions. Trafag pressure transmitters with cutting-edge technologies are...

Unparalleled reliability and quality Test benches and mobile testing installations are built to take devices under test to their limits and beyond. On-road tests for passenger cars, carried out in extremely harsh environments from the dusty heat of deserts to the icy cold of sub-arctic forests, are often also putting the measurement equipment to its limits. Whereas failure of vehicle sensors is expected to a certain degree, the testing equipment must not fail at all - an undetected signal drift could put the entire test cycle results into question. Therefore, only the most robust and...

The accuracy class of 0.1 % makes the NAH 8253 pressure transmitter the first choice for all measuring tasks requiring high accuracy in combination with reliability and robustness. Thanks to the superior long-term stability of the thin-film-on-steel sensor and the overall design, which the series has successfully demonstrated in construction and forestry machines for more than 10 years, NAH 8253 pressure transmitters work practically drift-free even under harsh conditions and therefore - unlike conventional precision transmitters - do not have to be recalibrated and readjusted.

NAH 8254 High performance pressure transmitter Based on the proven industrial and mobile hydraulics transmitter NAH 8254 in the miniature size HEX19, Trafag offers special versions for which the desired cut-off frequency can be selected from various levels of over 20 kHz (this corresponds to 18 μs rise time, 10…90 % nominal pressure) for highly dynamic pressure measurements down to 11 Hz for a maximum signal smoothing. The fast electronics based on Trafag’s own mixed-signal chip can reproduce even high-frequency pressure gradients with- out distortion, regardless of sampling rates. Both,...
