PF PRESSURE SENSOR
• A wide range of rated pressure, including a minute pressure
There are 10 types of sensors covering a wide range of rated pressure from a minute pressure between 4.9 kPa {0.05 kgf/cm2}, to a maximum pressure of 980.7 kPa {10 kgf/cm2}.
• Realization of highly accurate, linear characteristics
This sensor employs a semiconductor strain gauge method, ensuring accurate and linear detection characteristics. It also has excellent repeatability of pressure characteristics.
• Impressive line-up of models
• Taking their place alongside the standard 5kΩ bridge resistance models are those with a 3.3kΩ resistance which is optimally suited to 5V drive circuits.
• Economy model (no glass base) gives outstanding value for consumer appliances 40 kPa (0.4 kgf/cm2) and 49 kPa (0.5 kgf/cm2) units are also available.
Example of pressure characteristics (when the rated pressure is between 98.1 kPa {1.0 kgf/cm2}
