PRIAMUS: Easy Sensor Mounting with PRIAFIT®

The use of cavity pressure and cavity temperature sensors directly at the molded part is a permanently growing market since many years. This is not surprising considering that a bad part cannot be detected only by machine parameters due to various reasons.
The sensors are therefore commodity items which are applied in high quantities.
And the ease of use during installation becomes even more important.
In the past decades two simple rules have been applied: a cavity pressure sensor was usually mounted with the help of a mounting nut in order to ensure an installation situation as stiff as possible. This is necessary to avoid measuring errors. A cavity temperature sensor however was clamped with the help of a distance sleeve as a standard because this has no influence on the temperature measurement. Both methods are not always ideal because the thread for the mounting nut must often be tapped deep in the bore hole and the distance sleeve must be cut to the exact length.
The new PRIAFIT® mounting sleeve consists of a combination of mounting nut and distance sleeve and combines the advantages of both methods. The thread for the mounting of the sensor can easily be tapped near the borehole top and the length of the sleeve must not be cut exact but only approximate. A simple but very efficient and cost-saving method. |
