Pressure is one of the most critical physical variables in machines, systems, and installations. It not only needs to be measured and monitored but also precisely controlled to ensure reliable operation and, most importantly, safety. High-quality pressure sensors are vital to prevent malfunctions, enhance system performance, and protect operators from potential hazards.
Across industries including hydraulics, mobile machinery, oil & gas, power plants, machine tools, food & beverage, automotive, petrochemical, and refineries—pressure sensors ensure that critical pressure points are accurately measured, diagnosed, and controlled.
These advanced pressure transducers record pressure variables and convert them into electrical signals for monitoring and control.

Temperature is one of the most critical physical parameters monitored in machines and installations. It must be measured and maintained within set limits to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient operation of any system.
In machine tool and automotive applications, temperature measurement of key components such as gears, motors, and drives provides vital insights into the machine’s condition. In steel and metal industries, monitoring cooling circuits is essential to prevent overheating and protect plant equipment.
Temperature transmitters and sensors record temperature and convert it into a proportional output signal. Electronic temperature switches, on the other hand, measure and process temperature values and provide a switching signal based on preset values.
