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
