VEGA

The measuring principle

The separating diaphragms of the sensor are deflected by the acting pressures. The transmission oil transfers this pressure to a semiconductor measuring bridge, whose differential pressure-dependent output signal is measured and further processed.
The advantages of this sensor are the high system pressure up to 420 bar, the excellent long-term stability and the very high, one-sided overload resistance.
