PRESSURE GAUGE MEX3 WITH ROBUST HOUSING FOR ROLLING STOCK

Listen to this article

Pressure Gauge

Baumer’s stainless steel pressure gauge MEX3 is available in a particularly robust version for heavy duty applications. It has been developed especially for the pressure control in hydraulic parking brakes in trains. When rolling stock goes to the depot or a maintenance area, the pneumatic brake system is switched to a hydraulic brake which is used for parked railed vehicles.

In order to protect the sensing element against shock and the impact of stones during operation, the device is mounted in an aluminium housing equipped with a polycarbonate window meeting the requirements for railway applications.

The MEX3’s pressure range is between 0 and 250 bar. The ideal range for the filling of the hydraulic system is between 80 and 90 bar. The device is equipped with a dual fitting: one is used for the connection to the hydraulic system, and the other – a Minimess stainless steel fitting – allows the refilling of the hydraulic system. The accuracy class is 1.6.
