Sensata Technologies empowers industrial automation with a wide portfolio of sensing, switching, and control solutions designed to improve performance, safety, and efficiency across a range of automated systems. These components are built to meet the demanding requirements and harsh conditions of modern industrial environments, ranging from factory floors to robotics and process control. Sensata's portfolio includes high-accuracy sensors for pressure, position, temperature, level and flow, solid-state relays and switches for reliable control, and encoders for precise motion feedback. These solutions are designed to withstand environmental challenges while delivering consistent, real-time data for smarter decision-making and system responsiveness.
Solutions for Industrial Systems
• Pressure Sensors and Switches: Hermetic digital and analog pressure sensors are offered with ranges of up to 10,000psi, and pressure switches up to 2000psi. These components are highly configurable and built for durability in extreme environments.
• Position and Monitoring Sensing: The comprehensive encoders and position sensors portfolio includes incremental and absolute encoders, hall effect sensors, rotary and linear potentiometers, inclinometers, and draw wire solutions. These products are reliable, rugged, and designed for standard industrial to heavy-duty/hazardous area applications.
• Temperature and Thermal Protection: Fixed and adjustable thermostats and thermal sensors provide precise control and protection in industrial heating, cooling, and motor applications.
• Solid-State and Reed Relays: Sensata provides various off-the-shelf and custom-designed solid-state relays (SSRs) for fast, reliable switching in industrial control systems. These SSRs are ideal for applications requiring silent operation, long life, and resistance to vibration. Reed relays, known for their compact size and low power consumption, offer precise switching for signal-level applications and are ideal for automation systems requiring high isolation and fast response times.
• Liquid Level and Flow Sensors: Designed to prevent overfill and ensure safe fluid management, Sensata's level and flow switches deliver accuracy and rugged performance across various industrial applications.
Note: Sensata's industrial-grade components are constructed to withstand vibration, contamination, temperature extremes, and ingress, making them ideal for CNC machinery, press brakes, laser cutting systems, and other heavy-duty applications.
