Description
The PT460E Series transducer is a +/-0.5% sensor ideal for melt pressure applications requiring simple
installation, repeatability and reliability. The PT460E transducers provide the industry standard 3.33
mV/V signal designed to work with most pressure indicators. The PT460E comes equipped with a six pin
bendix connector. Optional thermocouple or RTD configurations are available to provide melt temperature.
The PT460E features 1 ½-20 UNF thread for installation in standard transducer mounting holes and can be
supplied with a variety of other electrical connections if desired.
