Vacuum sensors

Vacuum sensors are?

SCMA has been officially appointed as the sole authorized distributor of ifm in Thailand. 

Vacuum Sensors are used to measure low pressure or vacuum. They are typically used in processes that require control of pressures below atmospheric levels, such as in manufacturing industries, food processing, laboratory technology, and semiconductor production.

How Vacuum sensors work

Vacuum sensors measure pressure levels and convert the data into electrical signals to send to a processor or control system. The measured pressures are usually in units such as Torr, Pascal (Pa), or mbar (millibar).

Types of Vacuum Sensors

• Capacitive Vacuum Sensor measures low pressure by detecting changes in capacitance and is highly accurate, suitable for high-precision work such as in laboratories.
• Piezoelectric Vacuum Sensor uses the Piezoelectric Effect to convert pressure changes into electrical signals. It is easy to use and durable under various conditions.
• Thermocouple Vacuum Sensor measures temperature along with pressure changes, suitable for low-pressure ranges in general industrial applications that do not require extremely high accuracy.
• Ionization Vacuum Sensor measures vacuum by using an electric current through gas and detecting ionization. It is ideal for measuring the highest levels of vacuum (Ultra-High Vacuum).
