In addition to the pressure sensors and vacuum sensors from our Core Range, we also have a wide variety of other products, including PE converters, pressure switches as well as pressure transmitters. What all our products have in common is a compact design, attractive prices and versatile operation. They are suitable for the precise measurement of vacuum and pressure values and thus meet the requirements of various industrial applications. The flexibility and user-friendliness of Festo pressure sensors and vacuum sensors are particularly impressive.
A pressure sensor is a device that measures the pressure of gases or liquids and converts the physical pressure into an electrical signal that can be read, displayed, or processed. Pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area, and pressure sensors detect this force in a variety of environments, from industrial applications to consumer electronics.
In general, pressure sensors are installed directly in locations where pressure needs to be accurately measured for safety, efficiency, or performance, whether it's in a fluid line, gas chamber, or a sealed environment.
When a pressure sensor fails, it can lead to incorrect or no pressure readings, which can disrupt the systems relying on accurate pressure measurements. The consequences of sensor failure vary depending on the application, but they can range from minor inconveniences to critical system malfunctions or even safety hazards.
