Added features make pressure sensor child's play

An electronic pressure sensor that is incredibly easy to programme and use, makes it ideal for all tasks where a vacuum has to be monitored or a space saving design is needed.
Global pneumatics expert Norgren has launched an electronic pressure sensor that is incredibly easy to programme and use, making it ideal for all tasks where a vacuum has to be monitored or a space saving design is needed. Named the 40D, the sensor has a number of selectable special functions, such as easy programming of set points and easy calibration. The built in electronic processor ensures the utmost accuracy, by linearising the signal and compensating for temperature fluctuations.

Measuring just 62 mm long (75mm for the display version) by 16mm diameter, the space saving design allows the sensor to be installed in all but the tightest of applications.

The revolving display means even if the sensor is located in an awkward to reach position, its readout can still be clearly seen.

Four different measurement units, as well as peak values, can be shown on the display.

Industry standard analogue and digital signals are catered for, and the 40D can be programmed to be NO or NC.

With a standard M8x14-pin electrical connector, the sensor needs no tools to wire it up.

The 40D is suitable for use with filtered, non-lubricated compressed air and neutral gases.

Manufactured from ABS plastics, the sensor is tough and can withstand harsh environments.

With an impressive switching time of less than 2.5 ms, the 40D is ideal for all vacuum and handling applications.
