Measuring process pressure on scissor lifts

PS+ sensors reliably control the pressure of hydraulic cylinders

Hydraulic scissor lifts for lifting and positioning heavy workpieces place demanding requirements on the pressure sensors of the hydraulic cylinders: Pressures of up to 400 bar can occur at the beginning of the lift. Turck's robust pressure sensors of the PS+ series therefore also come with a metal measuring cell (PS510), offering an overpressure resistance of up to seven times the nominal pressure and ensures hermetic tightness even in the event of overload.

Your Benefits

The sensors are highly resistant thanks to the laser-welded stainless steel housing and a fully-sealed cover, increasing system availability
Teach locking mechanism prevents any unauthorized access to parameters
Intuitive operation via capacitive touchpads that feel like a smartphone

Robust PS+ sensors monitor the hydraulic pressure of scissor lifts
Red and green for clarity: All display functions can be displayed in two colors
The user interface of the PS+ sensors makes it convenient to read off values and operate the device

Locking mechanism for extra safety

The practical challenges involved with using a scissor lift were also considered when designing the user interface for the PS+ sensors. This includes that the pressure sensor menu offers protection against operating errors. The device is unlocked using a swipe motion; a password can be set if necessary. Users can select the preset Turck standard menu guidance or switch to the VDMA standard.
