Superior Sensor Launches New Medium Voltage Sensor Application

Superior Sensor Technology announces the expansion of its ND Series with two new pressure sensor families for medium pressure range applications.

These new devices will enable manufacturers to cost-effectively develop more accurate and stable products for numerous industrial equipment applications operating in the low- to medium-pressure range.

The new series includes the ND series absolute medium pressure sensors, as well as the ND series differential and gauge medium pressure sensors. The absolute sensors support pressures up to 150 psi with an accuracy and long-term stability of 0.10%, while the differential/gauge pressure sensors support a multi-range pressure from 0.5psi to 150psi with an accuracy and long-term stability of 0.05%. These performance indicators provide manufacturers with a 2x advantage over other solutions.

"Based on our NimbleSense™ architecture, we are extending the performance levels of our products into mid-range pressure devices with extremely high accuracy and stability, which has never been possible before," said Jim Finch, CEO and co-founder of Superior Sensor Technology. "Our new generation of pressure sensors will enable manufacturers to develop higher performance devices and, due to our flexible architecture, significantly reduce design and manufacturing time and inventory requirements, resulting in a better cost-performance model than competing solutions."

The new ND Series medium pressure sensors support manufacturers of commercial, transportation, R&D and manufacturing equipment. According to the company, by designing in the ND Series, engineers can develop one or an entire family of products faster and more efficiently than with competing solutions.

Both devices include embedded advanced digital filtering with 50/60Hz notch filters and offer optional integrated closed-loop control. These advanced features eliminate the need to design many external components. In addition, the ND Series has the lowest noise floor in the industry, which is critical to ensuring high accuracy and stability in very low pressure applications. The ND Series differential sensors also include the company's proprietary multi-range technology, which allows the sensor to support up to 7 pressure ranges that can be changed "on the fly", reducing inventory, design and manufacturing costs.

The ND Series medium-voltage sensors and evaluation boards are available in production quantities now from Digi-Key Electronics and Mouser Electronics.
