www.hpmag.co.uk HYDRAULICS & PNEUMATICS June 2020 39 atam.uk.com Every year, millions of ATAM encapsulated coils used on off-highway vehicles pass demanding field tests. During the final stages of our production processes each coil is fully tested against rigid criteria for electrical resistance, dielectric strength, surge protection and functionality. It is the stringent nature of these tests that guarantee reliability of each coil over time, even in the most extreme conditions. ATAM also produces coils with external armature and additional options that are ATEX and IECEx certified. Actuators, sensors and industrial connecting systems complement the range, demonstrating great attention to market needs. Every ATAM solution is an expression of a living technology combining innovation, reliability, attention to detail and respect for the environment. ATAM. Experience and reliability in off-highway applications. Series 415 coil encapsulated in thermoplastic. Insulation class H (180 °C) with AMP JT connection. Tested Cost-effective Robust Sensata Technologies, the industrial technology company and provider of sensors, has launched the new PTE7100 and PTE7300 hermetic pressure sensors for industrial applications with mid and high-pressure ranges. Building on Sensata’s Microfused Strain Gauge (MSG) with best-in-class accuracy, this new series of pressure sensors provides high burst strength and high shock and vibration performance, making it a reliable and robust solution for customers with challenging measurement requirements. The stainless steel design features a hermetic port without using internal O- ring seals, which enables sensor compatibility with most media and use in harsh environments. A snubber option is available to dampen pressure spikes from hammer and cavitation. The PTE7100 series hermetic analogue pressure sensor has a measuring range from 0-50 bar to 0-600 bar (0-725 to 0-8700 psi). The sensor’s high mechanical shock rating of up to 500g, vibration up to 30g (10…2000Hz) and a burst pressure of ≥ 10X make it a reliable solution with an extended product life. A wide variety of highly customisable ports, connectors and analog electrical outputs allows for easy integration with existing system electronics in many industrial applications including self-propelled scissor lifts, injection molding, CO2 HVAC systems, and other hydraulic or pneumatic applications. With a measuring range from 0-16 bar to 0-600 bar (0-230 to 0-8700 psi), the PTE7300 series sensor provides an I 2 C digital output of both pressure and temperature and is available in a fully hermetic IP69K package developed for wet environments. The PTE7300 features low power consumption for battery operation, fast response time, increased sensor diagnostics, and sensor communication integrity check using cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The CRC of the communication data is additional to the integrity check of the internal chip memory and allows users to validate 100% of the sensor output, providing an extra measure of data protection for the sensor. In addition, the product is REACH/RoHS/CE compliant and is suitable for drinking water safe applications. As a special offer, Sensata will provide a limited number of gift boxes which include a functional sample of the sensor with standard configurations to qualified engineers who need pressure sensors for mid to high-pressure range applications. www.sensata.com Sensata Technologies introduces high-accuracy hermetic pressure sensors
