VEGA BAR 38 VEGABAR 38 Pressure sensor with switching function
$435.00
The VEGA VEGABAR 38 Pressure Sensor with Switching Function is a compact pressure sensor and switch combination designed for reliable pressure monitoring of liquids, gases, and vapors.
Equipped with a ceramic measuring cell, it offers high overload resistance and long-term stability, even in demanding industrial environments. In addition, the integrated switching output (PNP/NPN) and IO-Link communication enable seamless integration into modern automation systems.
Its 360° status display and on-site operation make commissioning and monitoring simple, especially for OEM equipment and skid-mounted systems.
Typical applications include pump protection, tank pressure monitoring, process control, and hygienic systems.
Not Recommended For:
• Ultra-high precision measurement requiring advanced transmitters (e.g. VEGABAR 80 series)
• Non-industrial applications requiring only basic mechanical pressure switches
Selection Notes
• Confirm the process medium: gases, vapors, or liquids (must be compatible with ceramic cell)
• Select pressure range, typically up to industrial standard process limits
• Choose required output type:
- Switching output (PNP/NPN)
- Analog 4–20 mA
- IO-Link for digital integration
• Verify process connection, such as G½ thread or hygienic clamp
• Confirm temperature range (up to approx. 130°C)
• Ensure need for hygienic or Ex approvals, depending on application
Why Choose the VEGABAR 38
• Sensor + Switch in One Device
Combines pressure measurement and switching function. Therefore, no separate pressure switch is required.
• Robust Ceramic Measuring Cell
Provides excellent resistance to overload and vacuum conditions. As a result, long-term stability is ensured.
• 360° Status Display for Fast Diagnosis
The color ring display shows switching status clearly from any direction, improving operator visibility.
• IO-Link Ready for Smart Integration
Supports digital communication, enabling easy commissioning, parameterization, and diagnostics.
• Compact Design for OEM Applications
Small footprint allows installation in tight systems. Consequently, it is ideal for skid builders and machine manufacturers.
• Hygienic and Flexible Connections
Supports threaded and hygienic adapters, reducing installation complexity and inventory.
• User-Friendly Operation
On-site display with 3-button operation simplifies setup and maintenance.
