PS+ Pressure Sensors Improved Pneumatic + Hydraulic Measurement

PS+ Pressure Sensors

PS+ pressure sensors reliably and accurately measure pneumatic and hydraulic pressure levels.  Turck's PS+ series of rugged and programmable pressure sensors increase system availabilityThe sensor shows the measured pressure on an integrated multi-color display while the outputs communicate critical process information to a control system.

The PS+ pressure sensors offer IO-Link capability for added functionality, auto-detect outputs, and a 340-degree rotatable sensor head to ensure simplified installation and commissioning. It also offers a stainless steel housing and measuring cell for maximum ruggedness. A large selection of process connections are available.

 

Simple commissioning: The PS+ pressure sensors automatically detect which signals the control unit or bus module are expecting. Different process data profiles provide maximum compatibility when integrating sensors into existing IO-Link systems.

 

 

The operator interface with capacitive touchpads and a multi-color display enables settings to be carried out quickly is protected by a lock mechanism from accidental operation.

The hermetically sealed keypad ensures greater resistance to dirt and liquids so that the sensors meet the requirements of ISO protection to IP6K6K, IP6K7 and IP6K9K. The PS+ pressure sensors are designed for pressure ranges up to 600 bar/8,702 psi relative pressure. It is available with proven ceramic measuring cells (PS310), in addition to metal measuring cells (PS510). The latter devices come with an overpressure resistance of up to seven times the nominal pressure. The sensors can optionally be fitted with peak pressure restrictors.

PS+ Pressure Sensor Applications

Monitoring cooling lubricants in machine toolsPS+ Pressure Sensor

PS+ pressure sensors monitor that cooling lubricants are being correctly supplied to ensure that the workpieces are processed accurately and do not sustain damage. The metal measuring cell and pressure peak aperture reliably protect PS510-series sensors against the impacts they may receive in the piping system. Users will benefit from pressure sensors that remain stable in the long term.

Controlling hydraulic pressure in pressing plantsPS+ Pressure Sensors controlling hydraulic pressure

A defined hydraulic pressure level is crucial for ensuring high repeatability when forming the sheet metal for body components. The PS+ pressure sensors record the process values and immediately inform the control unit if there is excess pressure. Intelligent communication via IO-Link enables efficient condition monitoring.

Measuring process pressure on scissor liftsPS+ Pressure Sensors monitor hydraulic cylinders

Reliably lifting and lowering heavy-ton workpieces - the piezoresistive pressure sensors of the PS+ series monitor the hydraulic cylinders in order to ensure that scissor lifts can fulfill this task. Capacitive touchpads make the fluid sensors easy to operate. As there are no mechanical controls, the sensors are more robust. The operating concept won the iF Design Award 2019.
