The compact pressure transmitter,
type MBS 3000, is designed for use in industrial
and hydraulic applications, and oers a reliable
pressure measurement, even under harsh
environmental conditions.
The compact heavy duty pressure transmitter
MBS 3050 with integrated pulse-snubber is
designed for use in hydraulic applications with
severe medium inuences like cavitation, liquid
hammer or pressure peaks and oers a reliable
pressure measurement, even under harsh
environmental conditions.
The exible pressure transmitter programme
covers dierent output signals, absolute or
gauge (relative) versions, measuring ranges
from 0 1 to 0 600 bar. A wide range of pressure
and electrical connections are available.
Excellent vibration stability, robust construction,
and a high degree of EMC/EMI protection equip
the pressure transmitter to meet the most
stringent industrial requirements.

Technical data
Application and media
conditions for MBS 3050
Pulse-snubber
Application
Cavitation, liquid hammer and pressure peaks
may occur in hydraulic systems with changes in
ow velocity, e.g. fast closing of a valve or when a
pump starts and stops.
The problem may occur on the inlet and outlet
side of the application, even at rather low
operating pressures.
Media condition
Clogging of the nozzle may occur in liquids
containing particles. Mounting the transmitter in
an upright position minimizes the risk of clogging,
because the ow in the nozzle is limited to the
start-up period until the dead volume behind the
nozzle orice is lled. The media viscosity has only
little eect on the response time. Even at a viscosities
up to 100 cSt, the response time will not exceed 4 ms.
