Ensure repeatable force measurements in industrial presses using a low-error pressure sensor tailored for high-pressure hydraulic monitoring and calibration.
This pressure transducer is capable of measuring hydraulic pressure generated by a compression machine and will convert the pressure into a ratiometric 3mV/V output sensitivity from the wheatstone bridge bonded foil strain gauge transducer circuit. The output of the TPS millivolt output pressure sensor can then be processed by the compression machine controls wizard to convert the pressure into a load measurement.
Integrating the TPS series into high-capacity compression testing environments allows for precise force determination by monitoring the hydraulic fluid pressure within the loading cylinders. This specific application relies heavily on the 3mV/V ratiometric output, which provides a higher signal-to-noise ratio compared to standard low-output sensors, ensuring that the control system receives a robust signal even in electrically noisy industrial environments. Because the sensor utilizes a four-arm Wheatstone bridge with bonded foil strain gauges, it offers the long-term stability and fatigue resistance necessary for the repetitive cyclic loading often found in concrete strength testing or metal forming applications. The ability of the instrumentation electronics to process this millivolt signal through a specialized control algorithm allows for the seamless translation of 700 bar hydraulic pressure into real-time load units, such as kilonewtons or pounds-force, which is critical for engineers performing destructive material analysis.
For calibration technicians, the 0.15% typical full-scale accuracy of the TPS series ensures that the compression machine remains within the strict tolerances required by international testing standards. The 1/4-18 NPT male process connection allows for a secure, leak-free installation directly into the hydraulic manifold or the high-pressure side of the cylinder. This direct mounting minimizes the volume of dead-end fluid and reduces potential lag in pressure spikes during rapid loading phases. In research environments where material failure points are being measured, the high-pressure range and linearity of the transducer are essential for capturing the exact moment of structural compromise. By utilizing a bonded foil construction rather than semiconductor alternatives, the sensor is better equipped to handle the pressure transients and vibrations inherent in heavy-duty hydraulic machinery without experiencing significant zero-shift or calibration drift over time.
