Temperature sensors that can take the heat

An outstanding temperature sensor performance is

characterised by:

• The element

• The ability to react fast and precise

• The packaging

Elements

Depending on the equipment

different element technologies can be

applied:

- RTD(Pt100/Pt1000)-for

standardised signals and high

accuracy the RTD's are a perfect

choice

■ Thermistors (NTC/PTC) - the

optimum solution for OEM

equipment in large volumes

■ Thermocouples - a well-known

technology for high temperatures

and heavy-duty applications

If required the temperature sensor can

also be delivered with a transmitter to

get an analogue signal:

■ 4-20 mA

■ Voltage

■ Ratio metric

Q The ability to react fast

and precise

Special care has been put into the

design of the sensor in relation to the

reaction time. A specially developed

sensor element fixture ensures contact

between the element and the housing

material in order to secure a fast heat

transfer from the media to the sensor

element. On top of this the sensor

construction ensures minimum

radiation of heat, which results in a

measurement very close to the actua

temperature of the media.

B Packaging

The sensor design offers long-life

stability through:

■ High shock and vibration stability

■ High enclosure grade

(special version up to IP69K)

■ Flexible choice of sensor material:

■ Stainless steel (AISI 316)

■ Brass

■ Gold plated contacts to secure

flawless signa
