Description
Kavlico’s OEM Pressure sensing modules
utilize our more than 30-year field-proven
ceramic capacitive sensing technology and are
intended for high volume applications. Millions
of Kavlico sensors are installed worldwide
in a variety of industrial and transportation
applications.
These RoHS compliant modules are
equipped with a robust flush mounted ceramic
sensing diaphragm that is compatible with
most industrial fluids and gaseous media. The
standard housing material is a Brass Spacer,
and the standard electrical connection is 3
Isolated Wires 0.15 mm, 2 – 75mm Long.
The module allows for easy integration and
installation into final assemblies for a wide
variety of applications.
With a 10-year minimum shelf life and a
lifetime of millions of pressure cycles, Kavlico’s
ruggedly designed modules are made to last.

Customized versions with PS modules already build into housings on request - contact factory for details.
Before installation and operation, ensure that the appropriate pressure sensor has been selected
in terms of pressure range, design and specific measuring conditions. Non-compliance can result
in serious injury and/or damage to the equipment.
