Pressure Sensors, Transducers

Pressure sensors and transducers are components of a system designed to measure pressure. They sense physical pressure and convert it into an electrical signal that can be used to display the pressure, or as an input to a control system for controlling the pressure in the process. Pressure sensors and transducers are used in many different industrial, commercial and automotive applications such as process control, aeronautical and medical applications.

The most common types of pressure sensors and transducers are variable capacitive, piezoresistive, and piezoelectric. Variable capacitive pressure sensors use a capacitive membrane that is sensitive to changes in pressure and converts them into an electrical signal, which is typically a linear voltage signal. Piezoelectric pressure sensors use a piezoelectric material and rely on the piezoelectric effect to convert physical pressure into an electrical signal. Piezoresistive pressure sensors use a flexible membrane or diaphragm that changes resistance depending on the pressure being applied and convert it to a variable resistance signal.

The PPT0010GRW2VB is a variable capacitive pressure sensor and transducer manufactured by Paragon Instruments. It is designed to measure pressure in the ranges of 0 to 10 bar, 0 to 120 psi, and 0 to 150 mbar. It is a monolithic pressure transducer that includes an integrated amplifier and voltage regulator. It is configured to provide a linear voltage output signal in the range of 0-10 VDC over its full pressure range. This transducer is suitable for applications such as air bag safety systems, automotive emission testing, automotive exhaust systems, automatic climate controls, and air and fuel pressure monitoring.

The PPT0010GRW2VB works by measuring the pressure that is applied to its diaphragm. As the pressure is applied, the diaphragm bends and increases the amount of capacitance between the plates. This change in capacitance is then measured and converted to a voltage output by the sensors integrated amplifier and voltage regulator. The output voltage is linear and can be used to determine the pressure applied.

The PPT0010GRW2VB is a high performance, low power pressure transducer that provides accurate, reliable, and repeatable measurements of pressure in a wide variety of applications. It is manufactured to exacting standards and is designed to withstand high level of shock and vibration. With its robust design and wide operating temperature range, the PPT0010GRW2VB is suitable for use in a variety of applications requiring reliable pressure measurements.
