Selecting Pneumatic Low-Pressure Sensors

What Is a Pneumatic Low-Pressure Sensor?

Pneumatic = Low Pressure Sensors < 25 bar

A pneumatic pressure sensor can also be referred to as a low-pressure sensors or <25 bar. At Gems, you can find our selection of low-pressure sensors under Capacitance Low-Pressure Transducers . These low-pressure sensors are simple, durable and fundamentally stable. Variable capacitor technology, a rugged physical configuration, stainless steel wetted parts and a careful marriage of the mechanical assembly to the electronic circuitry combine to create highly repeatable transducers with low hysteresis and only .5% long-term drift full scale per year, for low pressure/pneumatic applications.

Why Choose a Low-Pressure Sensor?

Detecting the capacitance change between two surfaces allows Gems transducers to sense extremely low pressure and vacuum levels. And their robust construction allows these units to be used in a wide variety of low-pressure/pneumatic applications.
