PGA220 Aerospace Pressure Sensor

The PGA220 series is a general purpose aerospace pressure sensor. The sensing element is an advanced piezo-resistive pressure module which together with the latest compensation techniques, provides high performance measurements. It is available with unamplified (mV/V) or amplified (Vdc, mA) outputs. Wetted parts being all stainless steel (other materials are available on request), the sensor is compatible with most media used in Aerospace industry, especially corrosive ones (Skydrol, Kerosene…). High accuracy pressure measurements on test bench is one of the main application for the PGA220. Thanks to compact dimensions and a large choice in mechanical and electrical connections, installation is easier.

Features

  • Robust and reliable sensor
  • Available with Built in Electronic
  • Large Bandwidth
  • All Stainless steel

Applications

  • Aerospace
  • Military
  • Test benches
  • OEM

 

Description

EFE PGA220 series is a general purpose aerospace pressure sensor. The sensing element is an advanced piezo-resistive pressure module which together with the latest compensation techniques, provides high performance measurements. It is available with unamplified (mV/V) or amplified (Vdc, mA) outputs.

High accuracy pressure sensor measurements on test bench is one of the main application for the PGA220. Thanks to compact dimensions and a large choice in mechanical and electrical connections, installation is easier.

Our products are designed to withstand the harshest environments. Supplying pressure sensors for on-board applications for over 35 years has made us aware of the constraints of such environments on sensors, especially miniature.
Our robust technology, associated with proven high quality electronics have been successfully used on board applications in automotive, motor sport, military and aerospace applications.

Harsh environments for our sensors consist often in applications combining high levels of shocks, vibrations, accelerations and temperature.

Nevertheless unsuitable sensors can also be damaged by corrosive fluids, radiations (nuclear), pressure pulsations or spikes.

In all these cases we are offering dedicated proven solutions. Our thin film technology has many advantages, being 100% metallic, capable of high numbers of pressure cycles and adapted to gamma radiation environments.
Our manufacturing process, with adapted burn-in and high numbers of quality controls applied at 100% of our production, as well as the choice of high quality components, is a guarantee of the reliability of our sensors in your application.

Applications : on-board vehicle, flight test, missile, nuclear applications, satellite etc.
