VCC200 vacuum transducer

Product catalog summary

Overview: The VCC200 capacitance vacuum transducer is designed for measuring absolute pressure with high accuracy, independent of gas type, in the range of 200 to 0.1 mbar. It features a durable ceramic sensor that is resistant to dirt and contamination.

Typical Applications: This transducer is suitable for various applications including chemical process engineering, vacuum insulations, evacuation and filling, analysis instruments, packing machines, medical technology, appliance engineering, vacuum furnaces, lamp production, and vacuum drying.

Benefits: The VCC200 offers excellent accuracy with a standardized output signal of 4 - 20 mA (two wire, linear). It provides high resolution, easy connection to PLCs and other system controllers, and is corrosion-resistant due to its aluminum oxide ceramic sensor. It is designed for industrial applications with a robust metal housing and protection class IP54. The measurement is independent of gas type, and it has a short response time and is insensitive to contamination.
