Compact flow sensors with integrated pressure switch

The diverse product portfolio of flow sensors from ipf electronic has been expanded to include another exciting series. The highly flexible devices in the SL55-series monitor the flow of compressed air and non-corrosive gases. The devices also have a pressure switch for additional precise monitoring of the operating pressure. Thanks to their compact design, the sensors can be individually integrated into machines and system components such as grippers or robot arms to save space.

The series comprises ten devices (see table) with different process connections (AD6, AD8, G1/2“ and G3/4“) and measuring ranges (0.5l/min to 2000l/min). The flow sensors have a 3-color and 2-line display with an intuitive menu structure. Thanks to a color change, the display provides an additional visual signal when the threshold values (pressure and flow rate) are reached, for example.

The measured values are evaluated either via the analogue output (4...20mA) or via two parameterizable switching outputs. In addition, an external input is available for various reset functions. The connection is made via a 2m long cable included in the scope of delivery. Suitable accessories such as holders (AS000021, AS000023, AS000024) and/or mounting frames (AS000022) are available separately.
