Pressure Monitoring
Pressure monitoring in hydraulic systems is a parameter for the transmitted power. In lubrication systems, the monitoring of the system pressure indicates whether all lubrication points of the system are being sufficiently provided with lubricant. Traditionally, conventional pressure switches, where metering points and displays are separated, transmitters and displays are connected by pipes or hoses. Bühler’s pressure measurement technology eliminates these connections and replaces them using flexible cables. This reduces the risk of leakage and the installation costs decrease significantly.

FAQ: Pressure Monitoring
- Why is pressure monitoring important?
In hydraulic systems, pressure represents the available power transmission capability. By selecting the maximum available operating pressure, the size of the actuators used can be optimized. For example, at an operating pressure of 300 bar, smaller cylinder diameters can be used to generate a specific force. At 150 bar, larger cylinders would be required to achieve the same performance. In other applications, maintaining a certain pressure level may also be safety-critical.
