Meggitt Sensing Systems Introduces Endevco High-Sensitivity Absolute Pressure Transducer Series

By DE Editors

Meggitt Sensing Systems has introduced the Endevco model 8530C series, a family of high-sensitivity piezoresistive absolute pressure transducers, offering high output and a non-linearity of 1% at 3x over-range in a compact (3.86 mm face diameter) package. They are suited for use in hydraulic and pneumatic pressure measurements, automotive airbag testing and transmission testing applications.

Offered in ranges of 15, 50 and 100 psia with 225 mV full scale output and high-resonant frequencies of 180 kHz (15 psia), 320 kHz (50 psia)  and 500 kHz (100 psia), the Endevco model 8530C series features an active four-arm strain gage bridge, diffused into a sculpted silicon diaphragm,  for sensitivity and wideband frequency response. The volume behind the diaphragm is both evacuated and glass sealed. The transducers also feature integral temperature compensation, providing stable performance over a temperature range of -18°C to +93°C (0°F to +200°F), according to the company. Units are supplied with an integral cable, with custom lengths available upon request. A 10-32 UNF-2A mounting thread is standard, with an integral four-pin connector available with the M37 option.
