Compact, panel-friendly dimensions (50 mm x 50 mm x 50 mm) save valuable enclosure space while delivering dependable pressure readings. This small footprint translates to simpler retrofits and cleaner control panels, reducing install time and wiring complexity in busy automation lines. The R1/8 port size offers broad compatibility with common pneumatic circuits, enabling quick integration without bespoke adapters. A clear 0–6 bar scale (0–87 psi, 0–0.6 MPa) provides direct, misreading-free feedback for operators, supporting faster adjustments and energy-efficient operation. Operating temperature range of -20 to 65 °C makes the gauge suitable for factory floors, tool rooms, and outdoor-rated enclosures, ensuring consistent performance across environments. Weighing only 0.05 kg, installation is effortless, minimizing load on fixtures and simplifying maintenance. Maximum inlet pressure of 6 bar ensures safe monitoring across standard compressed air systems, reducing risk of over-pressurization damage and enabling reliable performance in continuous-production setups.

FAQs
Begin by ensuring the host line is depressurized and clean. Remove the protective cap, apply thread sealant suitable for compressed air to the R1/8 thread, and thread the gauge into place by hand before tightening with a suitable wrench. Confirm alignment so the face is readable and avoid overtightening to prevent body distortion. This gauge fits standard 1/8 inch ports, enabling straightforward retrofits in most pneumatic circuits.
Key specs include a 0–6 bar (0–87 psi, 0–0.6 MPa) reading range and a maximum inlet pressure of 6 bar. The operating temperature spans -20 to 65 °C, ensuring reliability across typical factory environments. With a compact 50 mm body, the scale provides quick readability, delivering accurate, repeatable readings essential for maintaining consistent tool performance and preventing pressure-related downtime.
Yes. Its compact 50 mm footprint, R1/8 port, and 0–6 bar range make it well-suited for monitoring air pressures in packaging and automation lines. The lightweight design simplifies mounting on limited-space panels, while the broad operating temperature range supports continuous operation in busy facilities. Reliable readings help optimize cycle times, reduce energy consumption, and support proactive maintenance strategies.
Certification details aren’t listed in the provided data. Before deployment, verify CE conformity and appropriate IP protection ratings with the supplier or in the datasheet. If your application involves safety-critical or hazardous environments, confirm any SIL requirements and ensure the gauge is approved for the specific industrial standard applicable to your facility.
The device’s simple, robust design minimizes maintenance needs while delivering reliable pressure readings. Regular visual inspections and periodic calibration checks (as per your maintenance plan) help sustain accuracy. ROI comes from improved process control, reduced energy waste, fewer unplanned downtime events, and easier procurement thanks to standard Port size and compatibility with common pneumatic circuits.
