Sensors for demanding environmental conditions

The detection of machine operating states, such as vibrations and pressures, as well as the analysis of these measurement data, enables the identification of irregularities and emerging damages. Monitoring solutions help increase the operational safety of the plant and improve production efficiency. Necessary maintenance work can be proactively planned based on measurement data.

Solutions for detecting impending malfunctions and damages are offered by sensors from PCB Piezotronics and Setra Systems. Both manufacturers have a wide range of vibration and pressure sensors, extending beyond the standard: sensors with EX approval for use in explosion hazard areas and SIL2-compliant sensors for systems where functional safety is a requirement.

PCB Synotech has compiled information and examples on the topics of ATEX and SIL and presents suitable products in the brochure "Sensors with Approvals for Challenging Environmental Conditions".
