ifm efector Introduces Compact PQ Series Pressure Sensors for Pneumatic Applications
ifm's compact PQ Series pressure sensors are designed for pneumatic applications typically found in robotics and material handling applications. The sensors precisely measure the full range of pressure and vacuum typical in these applications.
The cube-shaped pneumatic pressure sensor easily retrofits traditional pressure switches at a fraction of the price. Measuring only 32mm x 30mm x 42mm, the compact sensor can be installed in areas with limited mounting space.
Application parameters are established using two pushbuttons. The bright, four-digit display indicates system pressure and can be clearly seen from long distances. The sensor features two programmable switching outputs or one switching and one diagnostic output. In addition, the values can be programmed to change color depending on the switching output status (e.g., red if output 1 is switched; green if output 1 is not switched).
The technology is based on a piezo-resistive measuring element. The silicon measuring cell is insensitive to liquids (e.g. condensed water) and deposits that might occur in the system. The cell changes resistance when pressure is applied. The stress induced in the cell is transformed into an electric signal that is proportional to the pressure. The silicon measuring cell guarantees a high overload resistance as well as an accuracy of 0.5%.
For mounting purposes, the PQ pressure sensor can be fixed to flat surfaces and profiles using the sensorrs two M4 drill holes located in the front of the sensor. The PQ can be mounted to a DIN rail or connected to plates or manifolds using ifm's robust DIN rail bracket. The sensor can be connected to air lines through the G-1/8 port using a 6mm or 8mm tubing adapter or a 1/88 NPT adapter.
Two models are available. PQ7809 has a measuring range of -14.5 to 14.5 psi and the PQ7834 has a measuring range of -14.5 to 145 psi. Electrical connection is made through an M8 Pico DC connector. List price for the PQ pressure sensors are $145.00 (US).

Versatile Valve Offers Manual Shut Off of Media Flow
The Spartan Scientific Series 4600 2-way, normally open or normally closed, pilot operated diaphragm solenoid valves are offered standard with an adjustable metering handle to restrict or manually shut off media flow. Media and pilot can be separated to extend the life of the valve by keeping corrosive material out of the pilot section. These valves can be controlled by either an internal or external pilot which allows control of pressure range applications from 15 psi to 150 psi. The 4600 is available in ¾ and 11 sizes with a 25 mm orifice, has an ambient temperature range of -100C to +500C, and is media compatible with inert gas, water, air and emulsion. In addition, the 4600 has a glass-filled nylon body and cover, nitrile diaphragm, stainless steel internal components, nitrile seals, and a standard copper shading ring.
The Spartan Scientific Series 4600 is manufactured in the USA to ISO 9001 with design specifications to the highest quality standards. Complete specifications and options can be found at www.spartanscientific.com or by calling Bob Howard at 330-758-8446 x 122.

Connectors Provide Solenoid Valve Surge Suppression Protection
Canfield Connectorrs Series P5600 Micro Protective Connectors provide electrical controllers with surge protection
against voltage spikes that are caused by the solenoids used on hydraulic and pneumatic solenoid valves. These MPCs
are available in standard MINI, ISO, and Sub-Micro 8mm and 9.4mm. The P5600 connectors provide the advantages of
suppression such as reduced contact burnoff which increases switch life and reduced high frequency interference
pulses which lowers electronic noise. They are ideal for use with reed switch proximity sensors and will protect
programmable controllers and other types of electronic devices from inductive spikes. The Series P5600 connectors are NEMA 4 and IP 65 dust tight and water resistant and do not require additional modules or hardware. Consult the
manufacturer for available CSA versions.
The Series P5600 and all Canfield Connector products are manufactured to ISO 9001 with design specifications to the
highest quality standards. Complete specifications can be found at www.canfieldconnector.com or by calling Bob Howard
at 330-758-8299 x 122.
