Memosens offers reliable liquid analysis in all environments through contactless sensor coupling. Traditional metallic sensor contacts are susceptible to moisture, interference, and harsh conditions, reducing sensor life and affecting measurements. Memosens counters these issues with an inductive connection resistant to such influences, ensuring perfect functionality even with cable lengths of up to 100 meters. It digitizes measured values in the sensor and transmits them to the transmitter contactlessly, providing power and ensuring interference-free measurements through perfect galvanic isolation. The sensor’s calibration, process data, and digital memory eliminate issues like moisture, corrosion, and interference potentials, enabling precise process control.
Memosens Advantages
This patented retractable fitting with a ceramic sealing system is designed to handle challenging applications where conventional O-ring seals fail. The unique lock-gate principle uses two planar ceramic disks that rotate towards each other, effectively separating the calibration chamber from the process. This ceramic seal is harder than steel and highly resistant to chemical, thermal, and mechanical influences, ensuring maximum availability and process safety.
