Norgren 18-015-990 Gauge - R1/8, 0-4 bar

R1/8 port and a 0-4 bar scale define the core capability of the Norgren 18-015-990 gauge. This alignment with standard pneumatic fittings minimizes retrofit costs and simplifies on-site installation, letting commissioning engineers verify pressure readouts quickly and accurately. In practice, maintaining stable line pressure translates into fewer cycle losses, improved actuator response, and more predictable machine timing in automated lines. Operating from -20 to 65 °C, the gauge remains reliable across typical factory environments, preserving readability as ambient conditions shift. This robust temperature tolerance reduces the need for protective enclosures and lowers maintenance overhead. For system designers, the wide range also supports multiple shifts and remote installations where ambient cooling and heating fluctuate, keeping diagnostic readings trustworthy for performance reviews and preventive maintenance plans. With dimensions of 40 × 40 × 45 mm, the gauge fits into tight control panels and compact enclosures without demanding oversized mounting brackets. Lightweight construction at 0.05 kg eases vibration considerations and simplifies transport during installation. This form factor compatibility also means it works well alongside other Norgren components in standardized panel layouts, reducing integration time for OEMs and field engineers. Having a clear, multi-scale readout (bar, MPa, psi) supports cross-functional teams—maintenance technicians, process engineers, and procurement specialists—in interpreting readings. The familiar R1/8 port and compact mounting enable quick swap-outs during line reconfiguration or expansion projects, helping avoid downtime. Additionally, the gauge aligns with common industrial measurement practices, supporting data logging and trend analysis across automated production lines. Access to the official datasheet ensures informed decisions during design validation and spare-part planning. If your project requires certification checks (CE, IP, SIL), the data sheet and NORGEN support channels provide confirmation or alternatives. In operation, end users benefit from consistent performance metrics, enabling more accurate maintenance scheduling, reduced energy waste, and better overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) in pneumatic systems.
