  • Large Bandwidth
PGA160 has been designed for use in aerospace applications and to operate in the harshest environments, including high temperature, mechanical shock and vibration. Thanks to its small size, it is also suitable for on-board measurements on aircraft, launchers, satellites or missiles. With pressure ranges from -1 to 1000 bar, absolute, relative or sealed relative, its all stainless steel construction makes it suitable for use with most fluids used in aerospace, even corrosive fluids such as Skydrol. The PGA161 is manufactured using EFE's enhanced sensing technology. Its manufacturing process, including traceable controls and special burn-in, guarantees high performance and stability in the most demanding applications. Its small size and low mass make it ideal for applications where space is at a premium. With no electronics, it is ideal for long-term programmes. It delivers a non-amplified output (mV/V) with a stabilised power supply ranging from 5 to 15Vdc.
