Curtiss-Wright’s Industrial division has developed a range of robust pressure sensors for numerous industrial pressure sensing applications across sectors including: factory automation, process control, automotive and specialty vehicles, hydraulics, pneumatics and environmental systems. The company integrates two different technologies into stainless-steel housings with a choice of pressure port and electrical connection options.
In the stainless-steel technology version thin-film polysilicon resistors are applied to a stainless-steel diaphragm that deflects under pressure from the measured media. Boasting long-term stability exceeding 0.1% per annum and excellent compatibility with a wide range of gas and fluid media, these units operate at ranges up to 0 to 4000 bar.
In the silicon technology designs, the sensing element is a silicon diaphragm with diffused pressure-dependent resistors. The cost-effective solution is suited to non-aggressive gas and fluid media, operating at ranges from 0.1 to 40 bar.
Special intrinsically-safe ATEX / EX approved versions are also available for use in Zone 0 and 1 hazardous areas.
