The Honeywell ABP2 HP/HT Sensor Provides Enhanced Robustness and Durability within High Pressure and High Temperature Applications.

Abp2

Honeywell has release its latest innovation, the ABP2 High Pressure / High Temperature (HP/HT) sensors, revolutionising board mount pressure sensing to cover pressure measurement needs in high pressure and high temperature environments. Sensors in these environments face additional challenges from shock, vibration, and pressure spikes in addition to the usual application design requirements.

With an additional layer of shock-proof adhesive around the upper housing to provide enhanced robustness and increase the burst pressure resistance to greater than 40 bar (580 psi), the ABP2 HP/HT is designed and manufactured to address these challenges while maintaining the same key benefits that customers love and appreciate about the parent ABP2 product line. The HP/HT maintains the ABP2 series’ reputation for high accuracies, with error rates of as little as 1.5% full scale span.

Designed with versatility in mind, ABP2 HP/HT sensors are offered with the specific port and package types that are recommended for high temperature and high pressure applications. The sensors’ long-term stability and reliability make them a preferred choice for critical and sensitive systems, where minimising system downtime and reducing costly repairs is imperative.

Crouzet sync & stepper motors

AC Synchronous Motors

AC Synchronous Motors are the best solution for applications that require constant movement and a low torque, like in in medical equipment, valves, pumps and water treatment. Their rotation speed is directly proportional to the supply frequency, that means it’s always constant and independent from the load.

DC Stepper Motors

DC Stepper Motors are a great choice for simple applications that require long durability and easy integration, like small HVAC systems, photocopy machines, plot-ters, medical pumps and drip feeders, or vending and gaming machines.

Gearboxes

To meet the perfect speed and torque levels for the great majority of applications, we offer a complete range of gearboxes, with a wide variety of ratios, for adjusting our motors.

Each gearbox has been designed for a specific workload and optimized for a long mechanical life, with a big capacity to absorb the maximum torque in continus movement.

Schurter Industrial Automation - Reliable Components and HMI

Reliable Systems Thanks to Schurter Components and HMI for Industrial Automation

Regardless of the industry, modern electronic systems place high demands on even the smallest components. Stability, durability and absolute reliability are basic requirements to ensure that processes run safely and economically.

Schurter automamtion hmi1

In automated systems in particular, a single fault-prone component can halt entire production processes. It is therefore worth taking a close look when selecting electronic components and HMI solutions.

Schurter offers robust, industry-compliant components that have been specially developed for demanding applications – with a focus on quality, functionality and durability. Industrial automation leverages machines, sensors, control systems, and software to enhance efficiency, precision, and productivity in industrial processes.

Schhurter products contribute to this by providing reliable power supply, robust protection, and seamless connectivity, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operation. By minimizing manual interventions and optimizing production workflows, Schurter helps manufacturers achieve higher performance, increased uptime, and improved operational safety.

Below are some key aspects of this application:

Schurter automamtion hmi2

Electronic Switch with IO-Link Interface
With the MSS-IO, Schurter is entering the field of bidirectional communication via switches in industrial automation. The MSS-IO is based on the successful SCHURTER MSS electronic switch, which has been expanded to include an IO-Link module.

Schurter automamtion hmi3

Energy Harvesting for Wireless Sensors
Modern automated production equipment relies on numerous cables for power and data transmission. But cabling takes up valuable space, reduces accessibility, and is sometimes the most failure-prone part of a machine. This is where compact and powerful prismatic supercapacitors come into play.

By enabling sensors to operate independently of a fixed power supply, supercapacitors help reduce wiring complexity. A small energy source—such as a solar cell or a kinematic energy harvester—generates low levels of power, which are insufficient for directly operating the sensor and its control IoT module. Instead, this energy is stored in the supercapacitor. When needed, the supercap releases high-power pulses, providing enough energy for the sensor to take a measurement and for the IoT module to transmit data via Wi-Fi.

Particularily Slim: FPAC Rail EMC Filters for Machine Control Units
Space is almost always at a premium in control cabinets for industrial applications. SCHURTER addresses this problem with a complete new filter design that is just 44 mm in width. The new, single-stage filter series is constructed with a printed circuit board in a plastic housing. It has screw terminals for the three phases and a terminal on the metal base plate for the earth connection.

The New Schurter 6080 With Cordset
Protection against dirt particles and moisture is becoming increasingly important. With the product type 6080 and the associated V-Lock power cable, SCHURTER is launching an IP54 device connection that also meets very high demands.
