EGE Elektronik Sensor with Integrated Amplifier Productseries ST 521 KH

EGE Elektronik Sensors with Integrated Amplifier Productseries ST 521 KH is the authoritative choice for industrial flow control where standard sensors fail due to excessive heat.

Description

EGE Elektronik Sensors with Integrated Amplifier Productseries ST 521 KH is the authoritative choice for industrial flow control where standard sensors fail due to excessive heat. The “KH” designation identifies this unit as a high-temperature specialist. It utilizes advanced thermal decoupling—a physical separation between the heated probe tip and the evaluation electronics—ensuring that the integrated amplifier remains cool and stable even when the process media reaches 120°C. Operating on the thermodynamic principle, the ST 521 KH utilizes a solid-state probe to monitor flow velocity. This technology is uniquely suited for high-temperature cycles because it contains no moving parts. Traditional mechanical flow switches often suffer from material fatigue or “sticking” caused by the thermal expansion of metal components in hot media; the ST 521 KH eliminates these mechanical failure points entirely.
