IFM PT5501 PT-250-SEG14-A-ZVG Pressure Sensor IP65 For Mobile Applications
The German ifm PT5501 is a piezoresistive pressure transmitter designed specifically for mobile machinery and harsh working conditions. It provides high-precision, high-reliability, real-time pressure detection for media such as hydraulic oil, brake fluid, and compressed air. Featuring a one-piece stainless steel housing, it is shock- and vibration-resistant. Its compact design, weighing only approximately 90 grams, makes it particularly effective in space-constrained construction machinery, agricultural machinery, and specialized vehicles.
