Pressure transducer
Pressure transducers - maximum performance with minimum energy input
What are hydraulic pressure transducers?
Hydraulic pressure converters are compact devices for increasing the hydraulic pressure within an existing system. They make it possible to generate a higher working pressure (up to 700 bar or more) from a lower supply line (e.g. 100-200 bar) - without having to operate a second pump or a separate unit.
This makes them the ideal solution when different tools with different pressure requirements are to be operated on one hydraulic system.
How does a pressure transducer work?
A pressure transducer utilises the principle of surface transmission:
A larger piston with a low inlet pressure drives a smaller piston with a correspondingly higher outlet pressure. The closed hydraulic system creates efficient pressure amplification without the need for an additional energy source.
For example, up to 700 bar output pressure can be generated from 200 bar input pressure - precise, low-loss and safe.
What advantages do pressure transducers offer in practice?
Compact design - no separate high-pressure unit required
Energy-efficient operation by utilising existing hydraulic systems
High power density with low space requirements
Easy integration into existing systems or mobile systems
Low maintenance requirements and long service life
Especially for mobile applications, in workshop environments or in mechanical engineering, pressure transducers enable flexible and cost-effective pressure boosting.
Where are pressure transducers used?
Hydraulic tools and presses (e.g. cutting and pressing systems with 700 bar)
Maintenance and test benches for simulating different pressure levels
Machine and plant construction with different hydraulic circuits
Service and maintenance work where a compact high-pressure supply is required
Which accessories are useful?
We recommend the following for operation and integration:
Hydraulic power packs for the basic supply
Hydraulic hoses with suitable pressure rating
Quick-release couplings for easy mould changes
Valves & controls for fine adjustment of the pressure level
