Pressure Range: The pressure sensor is calibrated to measure hydraulic pressure within a specific range, ensuring accurate monitoring across various operational conditions.
The range is typically specified in units such as psi (pounds per square inch) or bar.
Accuracy: The sensor is designed to provide precise and reliable pressure readings, with a specified accuracy level. This ensures that the excavator's hydraulic system operates within the required parameters for optimal performance.
Temperature Range: The pressure sensor is engineered to function effectively within a defined temperature range. This ensures its reliability in diverse environmental conditions, from extreme cold to high heat.
Material and Construction: The sensor is constructed using durable and corrosion-resistant materials to withstand the harsh conditions often encountered in construction and excavation environments. Common materials include stainless steel or other alloys.
Key Features:
Shock and Vibration Resistance: The pressure sensor is designed to withstand the shocks and vibrations associated with heavy equipment operation.
This ensures its longevity and reliability in the demanding conditions of construction sites.
Sealing and Ingress Protection: To protect the internal components from dust, water, and other contaminants, the pressure sensor is equipped with robust sealing and ingress protection. This feature enhances the sensor's lifespan and maintains accurate readings.
Electrical Output: The sensor provides an electrical output signal, usually in the form of voltage or current, which corresponds to the measured hydraulic pressure. This signal is crucial for the excavator's control system to make real-time adjustments.
Installation and Calibration:
The pressure sensor is designed for easy installation and calibration. Proper installation is crucial to ensure accurate pressure readings, and calibration may be necessary during routine maintenance to account for any changes in the sensor's performance over time.
Compatibility:
The pressure sensor is specifically designed for compatibility with Hitachi ZX250-3, ZX270-3, and ZX240-3 excavators. It integrates seamlessly with the hydraulic system of these machines to provide accurate pressure data.
