For a quick setup of the AG2, AP2, AG3, AP3, AG4, AP4 and AL4 series

The Pewatron starter kit for Fujikura pressure sensors is based on an Arduino Nano board. The plug-in circuit board can be fitted with up to four sensors. The starter kit can be connected to a PC via USB. The software delivered with the kit and the C source code mean the sensors can be set up quickly, and the readings can be shown on the display or stored in an Excel file. The source code shows...

Video: reliable oxygen modules from Pewatron

Wherever people are working or undergoing medical treatment, the right oxygen concentration can become a survival factor. Safety is of the utmost importance – and reliable, precise oxygen measurements play a key role in achieving it.  In our new video, we’ll show you where oxygen sensor modules can be used and what they’re best at.  Play video

With the PEWA100, Pewatron is launching a new series of pressure transmitters with an incredibly versatile range of applications. The sensors can be configured for a broad spectrum of pressure ranges as well as for relative pressure, absolute pressure and vacuums. Furthermore, they are affordable and available starting from just one unit. The electronics emit standardised voltage and current...

For critical measurements made safe

Safe supply of gas using gas mixtures different from air is important and in many cases mandatory. In this short newsletter, we will present Pewatron OEM oxygen sensing modules for two important applications, where it is mandatory to measure the oxygen concentration with high precision because of high safety requirements. Controlled atmosphere (CA) applications, in combination with human...

Gas safety made easy – Plug-&-play infrared gas sensors for refrigerants and industrial gases incl. R32, R1234yf, propane, butane, methane and carbon dioxide

There are a large number of applications for which most commercial piezo-resistive MEMS pressure sensors are not suitable. Pneumatic applications are a prime example. Pneumatics always involves a small amount of oil, something that most MEMS pressure sensors don't react well to in the long run. It weakens the Wheatstone bridge as well as the bonding points and sooner or later the sensor will fail....

Almost no offset drift year on year

Piezo-resistive MEMS pressure sensors are known for their effect of exhibiting offset drift over extended periods of time due to technological reasons. To ensure the best performance, the offset therefore needs to be readjusted once fitted and after each application throughout the product life cycle. This isn't an issue for some applications. Under particular operating conditions, the pressure is...

Accurate to ±300 arcsec

The new N33MA is a cost-effective and robust magnetic kit encoder with a diameter of just 33 mm and maximum height of 20 mm that also enables it to be installed in small motors. As a result of the magnetic technology, it is not sensitive to dust or fingerprints on the sensor element and handling is much easier during production.  The 33MA can be used in an extended temperature range of -40°C to...
