Trafag is your specialist for highly precise and robust pressure transmitters

Trafag AG released the CMP 8271 pressure transmitter implementing the CiA 404 CANopen device profile for measuring devices.

We are very proud to announce that our new brochure Insulating gas density monitoring ⚡ is live!

What started with a small and modest production 20 years ago in the premises of a technical school in Tachov/Czech Republic, developed into an efficient, reliable production plant for Trafag AG. Finished products, assemblies and components are manufactured here.

What began as a company partnership and soon led to the founding of Trafag Italia has developed over 25 years into a success story: today Trafag Italia is the largest and most important Trafag sales company, characterised by continuously increasing sales and a distribution network spread throughout Italy.

The thin glass insulation layer is produced on the steel expansion bodies by the plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition process. The sensor bodies are positioned on the hot plate and in the vacuum reaction chamber the embedded silane gas is ionized by the applied high frequency voltage and grows as SiO₂ layer on the surfaces. 

25 years ago, the Gesellschaft für Sensorik GfS mbH was integrated into the Trafag Group as an independent company. Since then, the subsidiary in Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany, has been an important partner when it comes to the development and production of pressure sensors: the thin-film-on-steel coating and the coating of the ceramic measuring cells.

The new mechanical pressure switch 9R5 Picostat for railway applications meets the demanding requirements of rail vehicle applications and complies with the relevant railway standards like EN 50155 (Railway applications - Rolling stock).

About three years ago, Trafag decided to set up an independent inhouse calibration laboratory, with the aim of advancing quality assurance. Now it is accomplished.

New technical review: Trafag has succeeded in unifying the highly dynamic response behavior of a test bench sensor and the extreme robustness of a mobile hydraulic pressure transmitter by combining thin-film-on-steel measuring cells and an ASIC developed in-house

The DPC 8380 and the DPC 8381 are the ideal combination of pressure switch and transmitter with pressure display. The parameters are set on the device or in a timesaving way via an NFC - smartphone App.

Smartphone-enabled display pressure switches simplify both the commissioning process and the handling of spare parts.

As with a smartphone app and the use of tried-and-tested cable glands from process and chemical technology, amazing new solutions for well-known problems in hydrostatic filling level measurement are possible.
