Miniature sensor for pressure and temperature monitoring

Enhance production reliability with a compact sensor that ensures precise pressure and temperature monitoring, seamlessly integrating into various dispensing systems to minimize material loss and optimize control processes.

The flowplus-SPT M6 from ViscoTec is a miniature pressure-temperature sensor designed to enhance process reliability in dispensing systems. What sets this sensor apart is its compact design, combining both pressure and temperature measurement within a sensor body only 15.3 mm in length, using a robust FFKM membrane for chemical resistance. Ideal for applications across 3D printing, medical technology, and pharmaceuticals, it accurately monitors critical parameters in end-products like dental fillings, microelectronics, and insulin pens.

The sensor seamlessly integrates into automated production lines with its intuitive mechanics, allowing quick installation into ViscoTec systems or other compatible setups. It features a low 2% measurement tolerance, which translates recorded data into an analog voltage signal for easy PLC integration. With an IP54-rated dust and splash-proof construction, it operates reliably in challenging industrial environments, reducing maintenance costs due to its durable stainless steel body and highly resistant FFKM membrane. The standard 4-pole M8 connection ensures robust data acquisition, making it an indispensable tool for industrial manufacturers seeking precision in liquid product processing.
