Pressure Transmitter Delivers Exceptional Performance for Off- Highway Application

From Danfoss, Inc. - Industrial Automation Division

Made to perform in rugged conditions and challenging terrain, off-highway equipment has become increasingly sophisticated and versatile. As a result, the control systems of these heavy-duty machines have also become more complex. But additional control system functionality means less space for components - and, as with all off-highway equipment, reliability, accuracy, and value for money are paramount. Bearing these needs in mind, Danfoss launched the MBS 8250 pressure transmitter in February 2010 - and a US-based off-highway equipment manufacturer was one of the first to put a tailored version to the test.

Pressure Transmitters
Pressure transmitters translate the low level output of a sensor or transducer to a higher level signal suitable for transmission to a site where it can be further processed. These devices include pressure sensors, transducers, elements, and instruments.
