EGE Elektronik Sensor with Integrated Amplifier Productseries ST 521/1 KH

EGE Elektronik Sensors with Integrated Amplifier Productseries ST 521/1 KH is the authoritative choice for critical flow monitoring in high-heat processes.

Description

EGE Elektronik Sensors with Integrated Amplifier Productseries ST 521/1 KH is the authoritative choice for critical flow monitoring in high-heat processes. The “KH” designation represents EGE’s specialized high-temperature engineering, which utilizes thermal decoupling to protect the internal electronics from the process heat. This allows the integrated amplifier to remain within its safe operating temperature while the probe is submerged in fluids reaching 120°C. Operating on the thermodynamic principle, the ST 521/1 KH uses a solid-state sensing element to monitor flow velocity. This technology is inherently more reliable for high-temperature cycles than mechanical switches; because there are no moving parts, the sensor is not susceptible to the mechanical sticking or spring fatigue often caused by the thermal expansion of metal components.
