Balluff Pressure sensors

Balluff Pressure sensors

Process pressure, hydraulic pressure and vacuum monitoring

BSP pressure sensors monitor pressures of gaseous and fluid media; they can also be used in a variety of ways in factory automation. Available with stainless steel housings are designed for the demanding requirements of extended temperature ranges and harsh environments.

With your rotational housing and the simple, VDMA-compliant programming, they can be flexibly mounted as well as conveniently serviced. Using the bright LED Display, you can track current system pressure quickly and reliably.

Pressure sensors with IO-Link interface

Direct pressure monitoring in production on-site

Our pres­sure trans­mit­ters are used to mon­i­tor such processes as coolant and lu­bri­cat­ing agents, hy­draulic oils and pneu­mat­ics. Pres­sure trans­mit­ters with IO-Link (in­ter­face) relay mea­sure­ments and ad­di­tional di­ag­nos­tic in­for­ma­tion to the con­troller con­tin­u­ously.

Sim­ple sen­sor re­place­ment with Plug-and-Play.

With no com­pli­cated para­metri­sa­tion sen­sor re­place­ment is sim­ple – plug and play. Ad­di­tion­ally, pa­ra­me­ter data can be trans­ferred and du­pli­cated au­to­mat­i­cally from the con­trol unit. Time and cost sav­ings can be achieved, as well as error re­duc­tion dur­ing com­mis­sion­ing.

Pres­sure sen­sors with IO-Link can be in­stalled at the ideal po­si­tion in terms of mea­sure­ment tech­nol­ogy, i.e. at the point where the pres­sure is to be mea­sured. Thanks to their cen­tral para­metri­sa­tion, they no longer need to be ac­cessed. This guar­an­tees quick and pre­cise re­sults. And saves costs as time-con­sum­ing me­chan­i­cal in­stal­la­tions of hy­draulic lines are min­imised.

  • Com­pact and ro­bust as a trans­mit­ter

  • UL ap­proval
  • Cus­tomer-spe­cific mod­i­fi­ca­tions upon re­quest
Pressure sensors with IO-Link (interface)
Pressure sensors with IO-Link are parameterized via the control, so that they can be installed at the ideal position in terms of measurement and also in hard-to-reach places.

Pressure sensors with display monitor vacuum suction pressure and thus ensure positive engagement.

Flush-mounted pressure sensors

High-end sensors mounted flush

Pressure sensors

Our BSP flush mounted pres­sure sen­sors are most ap­pro­pri­ate for pres­sure mea­sure­ment in vis­cous, paste-like, crys­tal­lized or solids-con­tain­ing media. For ex­am­ple with glues, greases, seal­ing com­pounds or fre­quently changed media.

Be­cause of their front-flush welded stain­less steel mem­brane, the sen­sors have no dead space and can be es­pe­cially well cleaned. Mon­i­tor­ing of the hy­dro­sta­tic pres­sure of the liq­uid makes po­si­tion­ing pos­si­ble even at close dis­tance to the tank, for ex­am­ple when drain­ing.

The IO-Link in­ter­face pro­vides ac­cess to t all the data and make the data avail­able for the PLCs and di­ag­nos­tic sys­tems.

In SIO mode the sen­sors op­er­ate with a freely switch­ing point and ana­logue cur­rent in­ter­face.

The fea­tures

  • Free of dead space and easy to clean
  • Con­ve­nient with a very leg­i­ble dis­play
  • Com­pact and ro­bust as a trans­mit­ter
  • Pres­sure range –1…400 bar
  • Process con­nec­tion in high-end stain­less steel G1/2″ or 1½ Tri-Clamp “
  • IP67 or IP69k
  • Out­put as 4…20 mA, 0…10 V, switch­ing points (NPN/PNP) and IO-Link
  • Pres­sure val­ues di­rectly via IO-Link
  • Ex­panded tem­per­a­ture range (fluid tem­per­a­ture –40…+125 °C)
  • UL ap­proved, ma­te­r­ial test cer­ti­fi­ca­tion 3.1 (EN10204)
  • Cus­tomer-spe­cific mod­i­fi­ca­tions upon re­quest
Front mounted pressure sensors
Front mounted pressure sensors are most appropriate for pressure measurement in viscous, paste-like, crystallizing or solids-containing media
