Trafag Highlights Industrial Pressure Transmitter for High-Performance Sensing in Rugged Hydraulic Applications

Trafag, a leading manufacturer of high-accuracy measurement devices, highlights the NAT 8252 Industrial Pressure Transmitter, designed to meet the rigorous demands of hydraulic systems. With its ultra-compact design, fully welded stainless steel construction, and broad customization options, the NAT 8252 delivers a powerful combination of performance, reliability, and adaptability for hydraulic needs. Engineered with Trafag’s robust thin-film-on-steel sensing technology, the NAT 8252 ensures stable and precise pressure measurement over time, critical for hydraulic operations. Its excellent long-term stability reduces the need for recalibration, lowering operational costs and maintenance burdens. A wide measuring range, from 0 to 700 bar (0 to 10,000 psi), allows it to serve applications from low-pressure pilot lines to high-pressure main circuits. Designed for extreme conditions, the NAT 8252 offers a completely welded steel sensor system free from internal seals, providing excellent durability and eliminates leakage risks, ensuring robust performance even in hydraulic circuits exposed to aggressive fluids and high pressures. It is available with triple or optional five-fold overpressure protection, safeguarding both sensor integrity and system reliability during hydraulic pressure spikes and surges, which enhances system reliability and extends equipment lifespan.  For space-constrained hydraulic installations, the NAT 8252’s minimal footprint enables seamless integration into compact hydraulic manifolds and control panels, maximizing valuable installation space in high-density environments. Multiple electrical and pressure connection options make it easy to adapt the transmitter to existing hydraulic system layouts and industry standards. Compatibility is further enhanced by a variety of output signals for hydraulic controllers and monitoring systems, along with an optional one- or two-channel PNP switching output for integrated control and monitoring which adds flexibility to system design. Rated for use in demanding hydraulic environments, the NAT 8252 features IP65, IP67, or IP68 ingress protection, ensuring dependable operation in challenging hydraulic environments, and withstands temperatures from –40°C to +125°C. The robust design also withstands harsh mechanical and environmental conditions commonly encountered in hydraulic machinery and mobile hydraulics. Its rapid 1 ms response time ensures real-time accuracy in dynamic hydraulic processes, while built-in EMC and reverse polarity protection enhance operational safety and installation resilience.  The transmitter also boasts a high accuracy of ±0.5% FS typ. at 25°C, ensuring precise pressure measurement, essential for safe and efficient hydraulic system operation. Offering Trafag’s most extensive customization options, the NAT 8252 is the “go-to” solution for durable, compact, and high-performance pressure sensing technology in the hydraulics industry, adapting to virtually any hydraulic application.
