Norgren 18-015-028 Gauge - R1/8 Thread, 0-25 bar
Part Number: 18-015-028
Quick Summary
Norgren 18-015-028 Gauge monitors pressure in compressed air systems for reliable operation in manufacturing lines. When pressures drift, tool wear increases, cycle times extend, and overall productivity suffers. In regulated environments, CE conformity, robust IP protection, and SIL-oriented safety considerations help ensure compliance and safe operation. Its compact, panel-ready form fits tight machine enclosures, making retrofits and new installations straightforward and cost-effective. With a 0-25 bar scale and R1/8 port, operators gain fast, readable feedback that supports tighter control, reduces energy waste, and minimizes unplanned downtime. This translates into lower maintenance costs and higher machine uptime across production lines.

Port Size and Mounting Compatibility: The R1/8 port size aligns with standard pneumatic fittings, enabling quick integration into existing manifolds and control blocks. This reduces installation time and retrofit cost while ensuring a reliable seal in dynamic automation environments. It is ideal for inline pressure monitoring on compressor lines and actuator circuits. Scale and Readability: The 0-25 bar scale delivers a clear, direct reading that minimizes misinterpretation and operator error. This translates to faster fault diagnosis and tighter process control in high-cycle pneumatic applications such as pick-and-place systems and robotics. The compact gauge also supports dense panel layouts without sacrificing legibility. Operating Temperature Range: The device operates from -20 to 65 °C, enabling stable performance across typical factory floors and outdoor conditions. This resilience reduces the likelihood of drift or unreadable displays during seasonal or load fluctuations. In automation environments, consistent readings support predictive maintenance and energy optimization. Maximum Inlet Pressure and Durability: With a maximum inlet pressure of 25 bar, the gauge tolerates peak system surges and protects downstream components. The robust design helps minimize calibration needs and maintenance cycles, delivering lower total cost of ownership in busy production lines. It pairs well with standard air preparation equipment and control valves in pneumatic circuits. Compact Footprint and Installation Practicality: Measuring 69 mm high, 50 mm long, and 28 mm wide, and weighing 0.07 kg, this gauge leaves room for multiple devices in compact panels. Its panel-friendly dimensions simplify retrofits and new builds, while maintaining vibration resilience in dynamic automation environments. Together, these traits support faster time-to-value and more flexible line layouts.

FAQs
Ensure fittings match R1/8 threading, apply appropriate thread sealant, and mount the gauge on a stable panel or manifold using standard mounting hardware. Connect to the compressed air line, tighten fittings to manufacturer-recommended torque, and perform a leak check. The 0-25 bar scale remains readable during operation in typical factory environments.
The gauge is specified to operate across -20 to 65 °C, with a clear readout throughout this range. This resilience reduces reading errors during temperature fluctuations and supports consistent monitoring in both indoor production areas and exposed outdoor environments.
Yes for monitoring purposes in many automation lines. Its R1/8 port and 0-25 bar scale provide timely pressure feedback, though it is not a control sensor. Use it to detect pressure deviations quickly, enabling rapid adjustments in high-cycle pneumatic systems and helping prevent process interruptions.
CE conformity and appropriate IP protection are common expectations for industrial gauges, supporting safe operation and regulatory compliance. Always verify the specific certifications for your lot in the datasheet or with the supplier to ensure the product meets your site requirements.
The gauge helps prevent over-pressurization, reduces energy waste, and minimizes unplanned downtime by providing clear, timely pressure feedback. These factors collectively shorten maintenance cycles, improve line uptime, and lower operating costs over the life of the pneumatic system.
