The IFM PN2594 pressure sensor is a durable and versatile solution for industrial pressure monitoring, engineered to deliver precise readings of both relative pressure and vacuum. Its combination of advanced ceramic-capacitive measuring technology, robust electrical design, and wide media compatibility makes it a trusted choice for demanding automation environments.

At the heart of the PN2594 is a ceramic-capacitive pressure measuring cell, a technology valued for its precision, repeatability, and resistance to aggressive process media. Ceramic cells are inherently stable, offering minimal drift over time, and are resistant to corrosion and abrasion. This ensures reliable performance even when exposed to challenging or chemically demanding environments, making the PN2594 ideal for continuous, long-term monitoring.

The sensor is designed for industrial versatility, capable of measuring both liquids and gases with equal reliability. Its ability to also handle vacuum conditions makes it suitable for specialised applications such as packaging systems, pneumatic handling, or vacuum-assisted processes, in addition to traditional liquid pressure monitoring in hydraulic and process systems.

Operational resilience is a hallmark of the PN2594. It functions reliably across a medium temperature range of -25…80 °C, ensuring stable performance in both cold and moderately heated process conditions. This broad temperature tolerance makes the sensor adaptable to varied industrial environments, from cooling systems and storage facilities to production floors.

From an electrical standpoint, the PN2594 is designed with both safety and stability in mind. It operates on a supply voltage range of 18…30 V DC, compliant with SELV/PELV requirements for safe low-voltage operation. This ensures user safety and compliance with global electrical safety standards. The inclusion of gold-plated contacts further improves reliability by ensuring consistent signal transmission, reducing the risk of corrosion, and extending the operational lifespan of the sensor in harsh industrial conditions.

In practical use, the PN2594 provides accurate, stable, and repeatable pressure data, helping operators optimise process performance, safeguard equipment, and maintain product quality. Its rugged construction ensures long service life, while its compact design allows easy installation into both new systems and retrofit projects.

In summary, the IFM PN2594 pressure sensor combines accuracy, durability, and versatility in one industrial-grade package. With its ceramic-capacitive technology, dual measurement capability for relative pressure and vacuum, compatibility with liquids and gases, and safe SELV/PELV electrical operation, it is a reliable choice for industries requiring robust pressure monitoring under demanding process conditions.
