PGA220 General Purpose Aerospace Pressure Sensor

The EFE PGA220 series is a general purpose aerospace pressure sensor. The sensing element is an advanced piezo-resistive pressure module which together with the latest compensation techniques, provides high performance measurements. It is available with unamplified (mV/V) or amplified (Vdc, mA) outputs. Wetted parts being all stainless steel (other materials are available on request), the sensor is compatible with most media used in Aerospace industry, especially corrosive ones (Skydrol, Kerosene). High accuracy pressure measurements on test bench is one of the main application for the PGA220. Thanks to compact dimensions and a large choice in mechanical and electrical connections, installation is easier.

Features

  • Robust and reliable sensor
  • Available with Built in Electronic
  • Large Bandwidth
  • All Stainless steel

Applications

  • Aerospace
  • Military
  • Test benches
  • OEM

The EFE Engineering Department is responsible for designing all our sensors, from sensing elements to state of the art PCBs. To meet the customer’s high requirements, EFE decided very early on to develop its propriety sensing technology for pressure transducers. This technology, thin film, is manufactured mainly using a physical vapour deposit, and more precisely sputtering process on a metal diaphragm (stainless steel, titanium, inconel, hastelloy, etc.). This film is used by EFE is the only technology which does not require any intermediary between the sensing element and the fluid to be measured as with an oil separator for silicon based sensors or O-rings for ceramic technology.
