Pressure transducer gains improved vibration resistance
HBM has redesigned the housing of its P8 absolute pressure (P8AP) transducer so that it benefits from an improved cable outlet to optimise vibration resistance. Stresses arising from any forces acting on the substantially more robust cable are distributed efficiently to improve performance further.
The P8AP can be connected in a six-wire circuit, thereby eliminating accuracy losses resulting from longer cable lengths.
Because of its high overload capacity, the P8AP version of the P8 transducer can be used in many measurement applications - for example, in mobile testing or mobile test benches. For mobile weighing applications, the pressure transducer is used as a diaphragm type load cell with the type name P8WT. It is legal for trade per OIML R60 up to 300 divisions. Both sensor types are sealed to IP67.
The transducer is also available in the high-temperature versions T2, T9, and TH for a maximum of 140degC.
