Product Description

R&D measurement tasks differ profoundly from those for serial applications. Environmental boundary conditions like temperature, mechanical stress or heat flux are often poorly known. Testing time is usually limited and the measurement position new, so there is either no data or very little data to compare.

This complex situation demands sensors which deliver a reliable signal which is not influenced by other physical quantities. The CP5x1 is a versatile miniature piezoelectric pressure transducer perfectly suited for measurements in extreme conditions in R&D where space is limited. A particular focus of the design is the simple integration of the sensor in the setup. With the robustness of a piezoelectric pressure sensor, as well as a high natural frequency and the exceptional signal quality of GaPO4 crystal elements, the CP5x1 boosts the limits for R&D applications in hostile environments.

It can tolerate excursions to extreme temperatures with high gradients, mechanical stress and still produce a reliable and stable output.
