* Tough housings - the latest IQAN range of products use either sophisticated thin film Hall-effect sensors, which combine excellent stability under a wide range of operating conditions with superior mechanical and electronic characteristics, or simple but effective reed switch technology.
In each case, the sensors are mounted in tough stainless steel or plastics housings, complete with all signal conditioning electronics, and are fully protected against shock, vibration and electro-magnetic interference (EMI).

Hydraulic repairs firm grows with business service
Two business services from Parker Hannifin, Doctor and ParkerStore, are playing a key role for hydraulics repair company Mend-a-Hose Hydraulics in Yorkshire, UK.
Combined, these features help to make the IQAN products ideal for use in many different mobile and off-highway applications, from construction and forestry, to lift trucks, buses and commercial vehicles.
* Easy installation - Parker's IQAN sensors are designed to be easy to install, with a choice of sealed electrical connectors and mounting options to reduce both build costs for OEMs and subsequent maintenance costs for end users.
The latest sensors can be used under extreme temperature and humidity conditions; for example, the IQAN-ST temperature sensor can operate at temperatures from -50 deg C to +150 deg C, while the IQAN-SP pressure sensor can be used between -40 and +125 deg C.
Depending on the model of sensor the latest IQAN products offer a variety of specific advantages, such as extended output signal on the IQAN-ST temperature sensor of 250 to 4750mV, with a pressure rating of between 300 and 700bar.
Similarly, the IQAN-SP pressure sensor offers excellent linearity, hysteresis and repeatability characteristics, has a fast response time of 5.0 microsec and can be used in applications requiring up to 500 bar, with an over-pressure rating of up to 1,050 bar and a minimum burst pressure rating of 1,500 bar.
The latest range of IQAN sensors for mobile hydraulic applications is backed by full technical and after sales support from Parker Hannifin's global network of manufacturing and customer service centers. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin ...
