Kavlico Pressure Sensors Suited for Pressure Measurements for Hydraulic Applications

April 1, 2009

MOORPARK, Calif. – Kavlico, a global business unit of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST) has a suite of sensors that have been designed to perform in a wide variety of hydraulic applications. Capable of operating for millions of pressure cycles, these low power consumption pressure sensors provide an accurate, reliable, and stable signal over many years of operation in the harshest environments. The high overpressure capability of our sensors for fluid power applications are designed to withstand the pressure fluctuations associated with these applications.

These rugged devices have stainless steel housings and can be configured with a broad selection of process and electrical connectors to fit the specification criteria for each application. Operating on 5 Vdc, the sensors provide a 0.5 to 4.5 linear amplified output proportional to pressure. Pressure ranges are available up to 6,000 PSI.

Typical pressure sensor applications include:

• On & off-highway and vocational vehicle hydraulic systems
• Trenching machines
• Pressurized tools
• Adaptive suspension systems
• Material testing
• Lifts
• Cargo loading systems
• Transmissions
• Hydraulic applications for heavy equipment Kavlico sensors for Hydraulic applications include:

Kavlico sensors for Hydraulic applications include:

• P4000 – Sealed High Pressure Sensor
• P250/P251 – Sealed Industrial Pressure Sensor
