Pressure Transmitters

Hydraulic Pressure Transmitters

Monitor hydraulic pressure electronically with Flowfit’s range of hydraulic pressure transmitters, manufactured by Filtrec for use in hydraulic filtration and condition monitoring applications.

Pressure transmitters convert hydraulic pressure into an electrical signal that can be used by a PLC, controller, display or other monitoring system. This provides a practical way to monitor system pressure remotely and integrate hydraulic pressure data into automated machinery and maintenance systems.

Within hydraulic filtration systems, pressure monitoring can help provide greater visibility of filter operating conditions and support preventative maintenance.

Electronic Hydraulic Pressure Monitoring

A hydraulic pressure transmitter provides continuous electronic measurement rather than a simple local visual indication.

The transmitter detects hydraulic pressure and converts it into an electrical output that can be interpreted by control or monitoring equipment.

This makes pressure transmitters particularly suitable for industrial machinery, automated hydraulic systems and applications where operators need remote or continuous pressure information.

Pressure Monitoring for Hydraulic Filtration

Monitoring pressure around a hydraulic filter can help identify changes in operating conditions and provide useful information about filter performance.

As a filter element becomes contaminated, pressure conditions around the filter may change. A pressure transmitter can form part of a wider hydraulic filter condition monitoring system, helping maintenance teams track performance and identify when further investigation or servicing may be required.

Electronic pressure monitoring can also be useful where hydraulic systems are integrated into PLC-controlled machinery or centralised condition monitoring platforms.

Common Applications for Hydraulic Pressure Transmitters

Hydraulic pressure transmitters are commonly used in:

• Hydraulic filtration systems
• Hydraulic power packs
• Industrial machinery
• Automated hydraulic systems
• Manufacturing equipment
• Agricultural machinery
• Construction and plant equipment
• Mobile hydraulic equipment
• Material handling machinery
• Hydraulic presses
• Machine tools
• Process equipment
• Test and measurement systems
• Preventative and condition monitoring systems

Pressure Transmitters vs Clogging Indicators

Both products can be used as part of a hydraulic filter monitoring strategy, but they serve different purposes.

A clogging indicator is primarily designed to provide a warning when a filter reaches a specified restriction condition.

A pressure transmitter provides an electronic pressure signal that can be continuously monitored, recorded or processed by machine control equipment.

For applications requiring detailed electronic monitoring or integration with automated systems, a pressure transmitter can provide greater flexibility than a simple visual indicator.

Choosing the Right Hydraulic Pressure Transmitter

When selecting a pressure transmitter for a hydraulic system, consider the required pressure range, electrical output, connection type, operating temperature, fluid compatibility and monitoring system requirements.

The transmitter should be correctly matched to both the hydraulic application and the electrical control equipment receiving the signal.

For filter restriction warning applications, Flowfit also supplies hydraulic clogging indicators, together with pressure filters, return filters, suction filters and replacement filter elements.
