PSF160 Semi Flush Miniature Pressure Sensor

The EFE PSF160 series is designed for highly dynamic pressure measurements. Thanks to a semi-flush construction, the pressure diaphragm is exposed, in direct contact with the medium, with reduced dead volume. Being all titanium, it is compatible with most media including corrosive fluids used in industry. Unamplified (mV/V output) or equipped with the latest signal conditioning technologies from EFE (0-5 and 0.5-4.5Vdc outputs), it is able to measure very dynamic pressure spikes. Its thin film sensitive element ensures high performances and stability over wide temperature range. Models with built-in electronics (power supply : 8-30Vdc), being low consumption ( < 10mA) and with high bandwidth capabilities are particularly adapted to embedded applications.

Features

  • Semi flush miniature sensor
  • Thin film technology
  • High natural frequency up to 120kHz
  • Operating from -40 to +125°C

Applications

  • Automotive – on vehicle
  • Aerospace
  • Research laboratory
  • Automation & Robotics

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.
