In the mobile hydraulic industry, manufacturers are moving away from mechanical switches for their transmission and leg stability systems in favor of electronic switches. The change in preference is due to problems with existing cartridge-type mechanical switches, such as leakage, inaccuracy, and unreliable electronic contactors.
In Autumn 2007, Danfoss launched the MBS 1350, a compact OEM pressure transmitter. Designed for severe industrial OEM applications such as building site and agricultural equipment, the MBS 1350 features an integrated pulse snubber, which provides a high degree of protection against cavitations and liquid hammer. And the carefully crafted design means excellent vibration stability, exceptional robustness, and a high degree of EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) protection. The MBS 1350 not only meets the most stringent industrial requirements, but with its quality, accuracy, and performance, it is also proving to be a great motivator to go electric.
The MBS 1350 offers a range of technical benefits:
- Operates in ratiometric (5V supply) or absolute voltage (12 and 24V supply) systems
- Can be a 0-5V or 0-Vsupply, with pressure rising or falling
- Current draw options available include 2 mA or 150 mA
- Highly accurate and stable switch set point.
- Significant overpressure stability
- Compact size with few leak paths (all wetted parts are stainless steel and welded together)
