The IFM PN3071 pressure sensor is engineered for industrial environments that demand precise and reliable relative pressure measurement. Built with IFM’s advanced metallic thin-film technology, this sensor combines robustness, accuracy, and safety to deliver dependable performance in both liquid and gas applications.

At its core, the PN3071 utilises a metallic thin-film pressure measuring cell, a proven technology that ensures exceptional durability and measurement stability. Thin-film sensors are particularly valued for their resistance to vibration, pressure spikes, and dynamic load cycles, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications. Their ability to maintain precision over long operational lifetimes reduces maintenance requirements and supports consistent process reliability.

The PN3071 is highly versatile in terms of media compatibility, performing equally well with liquids and gases. Whether monitoring hydraulic oil in fluid power systems, water in process lines, or compressed air in pneumatic systems, this sensor delivers accurate and repeatable results. Its adaptability makes it a suitable solution across industries such as manufacturing, machine building, energy, and utilities.

The sensor is designed to handle a medium temperature range of -25…80 °C, allowing it to operate reliably in both chilled and moderately heated environments. This resilience ensures that it remains effective across a wide spectrum of industrial processes, from cooling circuits to production lines.

Electrical safety and efficiency are integral to the PN3071’s design. It operates within a supply range of 18…30 V DC and complies with SELV/PELV standards, ensuring safe low-voltage operation. This compliance not only enhances operator safety but also guarantees compatibility with international electrical standards. Additionally, its low current consumption of less than 35 mA makes it energy-efficient, particularly beneficial in installations that rely on large numbers of sensors.

Another key detail is the use of gold-plated contacts, which safeguard electrical connections against corrosion and wear while maintaining high-quality signal integrity. This ensures stable operation over time, even in environments with electrical noise or harsh operating conditions.

In real-world use, the PN3071 delivers stable, repeatable, and accurate measurements, supporting improved process efficiency, enhanced equipment protection, and reduced downtime. Its compact, rugged design makes it straightforward to install in both new builds and retrofitted systems, while its robust construction ensures longevity even in demanding applications.

In summary, the IFM PN3071 pressure sensor provides a strong balance of precision, reliability, and efficiency. With its metallic thin-film technology, compatibility with liquids and gases, safe low-voltage operation, and energy-efficient performance, it stands out as a dependable solution for industries requiring consistent relative pressure monitoring.
