Turck's fluid sensor platform
Pressure sensors with capacitive touchpads
Turck launched the sale of pressure sensors from the newly developed PS+ series at the Hannover Messe. The robust sensors are the first products in a modular fluid sensor family.
The PS+ pressure sensors are particularly easy to put into operation. Overhead mounting is just as possible as turning the sensor head within a range of 340 degrees. After connection, the sensor automatically registers whether the controller or the bus module requires a PNP or NPN, or current or voltage signal. A compatibility mode is also available for integration into IO-Link systems. The user interface with capacitive touchpads and a bi-color display allows quick settings in the plain text menu (according to Turck or VDMA standard) and is protected against accidental operating errors by a locking mechanism.
A side effect of the hermetically sealed operating unit is greater resistance to dirt and liquids, which is why the sensors meet ISO protection classes IP6K7K, IP6K7 and IP6K9K. The PS+ series is designed for pressure ranges up to 600 bar and is available with both ceramic measuring cells (PS310) and metal measuring cells (PS510). The latter have an overpressure resistance of up to seven times the nominal pressure. The sensors can optionally be fitted with pressure peak orifices.
The new sensor has already received the iF Design Award at the product launch. Turck will expand its new fluid sensor portfolio over the course of the year with products for temperature and flow measurement. As all sensors are based on the same platform, they will be very similar in appearance and operation, the manufacturer announced. as
