Digital pressure gauge
Hydraulic pressure gauges are used to indicate the media pressure in a hydraulic system.Different pressure gauges are designed for different pressure ranges.
What are Digital Pressure Gauges?
Digital pressure gauges are the modern upgrade for your pressure monitoring. Instead of a mechanical spring, they use high-precision electronic sensors to record the system pressure. The display is not via a pointer, but as an exact numerical value on an illuminated LC display.
Our models of the brand Valcon® offer far more than just the current actual value. They are intelligent diagnostic instruments. Thanks to integrated electronics, they can store measured values, capture pressure peaks, and visualize trends (bar graph display). They are the ideal solution for demanding hydraulic applications where reading accuracy and functionality are crucial.
Advantages of Our Digital Pressure Gauges
Switching from analog to digital sheds light on your hydraulic processes. Where analog pointers only vibrate during rapid pressure fluctuations, the digital pressure gauge delivers clear facts.
Technical added value for professionals:
- Min/Max Memory (Peak-Hold): The device remembers the highest pressure peak that occurred – indispensable for troubleshooting burst hoses or leaking seals.
- Highest Accuracy: Significantly lower measurement deviation (often < 0.5%) compared to standard pressure gauges.
- Functional Versatility: Features such as data logger, backlight, and unit switching (Bar/PSI/MPa) make everyday service easier.
- Robustness: Despite electronics, Valcon® devices are shock-resistant and designed for oil and water applications.
Typical Areas of Application for Digital Pressure Gauges
Digital pressure gauges are found primarily where documentation and precision are required:
- Mobile Service: Service technicians use them as the "multimeter of hydraulics" for quick on-site diagnostics.
- Test Benches: Certification of machines and logging of pressure tests.
- Industry 4.0: Systems where measured values not only have to be read but processed further via interface (e.g., USB).
- Commissioning: Exact setting of pressure relief valves and pump controllers.
Selection Criteria & Technical Data
To ensure the device meets your requirements, you should check the technical features closely.
Pay attention to the following specifications when selecting:
- Pressure Range: Select the sensor so that it can also handle possible pressure peaks above the nominal pressure.
- Sampling Rate: The higher the frequency (measurements per second), the better short pressure surges are detected.
- Interfaces: Do you need internal memory or a USB output for reading out on a laptop?
- Design: Handheld device for service or fixed installation (panel mounting) for continuous monitoring?
Tip: Pay attention to the battery life or the possibility of external power supply for stationary applications.
