IFM pressure transmitters are engineered to deliver accurate and reliable pressure monitoring across diverse industrial sectors, including hydraulics, mobile machinery, and process automation. These devices convert mechanical pressure into standardized electrical signals (4-20 mA, 0-10 V, or IO-Link), enabling real-time control and diagnostics in demanding environments. With robust construction and advanced sensing technologies, IFM transmitters address critical requirements for stability, longevity, and integration with modern industrial networks.

Core Technologies and Measurement Principles

IFM pressure transmitters utilize piezoresistive or ceramic capacitive sensing elements to achieve high-precision measurements. Piezoresistive sensors employ silicon strain gauges that detect minute deformations under pressure, ideal for dynamic applications with rapid pressure changes. Ceramic capacitive sensors, featuring a diaphragm and electrode assembly, excel in corrosive media due to their inert material properties. Key technical specifications include:

• Measurement Ranges: From vacuum conditions up to 1,000 bar, with options for absolute, gauge, or differential pressure configurations.

• Accuracy: Class 0.5% full scale (FS) or higher, with minimal temperature drift (±0.5% FS from -25°C to 85°C).

• Media Compatibility: Stainless steel (316L) or ceramic membranes resistant to aggressive fluids like hydraulic oils, coolants, and chemicals.

Robust Design for Industrial Environments

The transmitters feature IP67/IP69K-rated housings for protection against dust, moisture, and high-pressure washdowns. Critical applications in mobile equipment leverage vibration resistance (up to 20 g) and EMI immunity to ensure reliable operation under mechanical stress. For hazardous areas, ATEX and IECEx-certified models prevent ignition risks in explosive atmospheres. Additional innovations include:

• IO-Link Integration: Enables parameter configuration, condition monitoring, and predictive maintenance through digital data exchange.

• Tee-Connector Mounting: Simplifies installation in hydraulic test points without system shutdowns.

Industry-Specific Applications

• Mobile Machinery: Monitoring hydraulic pressure in excavators and cranes to optimize load handling and safety.

• Water Management: Level and flow measurement in pumps and filtration systems using differential pressure transmitters.

• Food and Beverage: Hygienic designs with EHEDG compliance for pressure control in CIP (cleaning-in-place) processes.

IFM pressure transmitters combine precision engineering with adaptability, supporting industries in achieving efficient and safe operations. Their compatibility with IIoT frameworks aligns with evolving demands for data-driven automation.
