The IFM PL5423 is a compact flush pressure transmitter designed for reliable measurement of relative pressure in industrial applications. It provides a 0 to 60 bar measuring range with a precise 4 to 20 mA analogue output for easy integration into automation and control systems. Its thin-film measuring cell with diaphragm seal technology supports reliable pressure detection in liquids, gases, viscous media and liquids containing suspended particles. The robust stainless-steel construction offers high resistance to shock, vibration and demanding operating conditions. With IP67 and IP69K protection, the PL5423 is suitable for applications where reliable pressure monitoring and hygienic, flush-mounted installation are required.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The PL5423 features a compact cylindrical housing designed for flush mounting in industrial pressure measurement applications. Its G 1/4 external thread provides a practical process connection for integration into compatible pressure systems and machinery. The housing uses robust stainless-steel materials including 17-4 PH and 316L stainless steel, providing good mechanical strength and resistance to demanding industrial environments. With dimensions of approximately 19 mm diameter and 73.8 mm length, the transmitter can be installed where available space is limited. The supplied FKM sealing components support reliable sealing at the process connection.
The transmitter measures relative pressure over a 0 to 60 bar, 0 to 870 psi, or 0 to 6 MPa range. Its thin-film measuring cell uses diaphragm seal technology to provide reliable pressure detection across a wide range of industrial media. The device offers excellent repeatability and low measurement deviation, supporting stable pressure monitoring in automated systems. A 4 to 20 mA analogue output allows the measured pressure value to be transmitted directly to PLCs, controllers, monitoring systems and other industrial equipment. The analogue output has a fast response time of approximately 2 ms, enabling rapid pressure changes to be detected.
The PL5423 is engineered for demanding industrial environments where pressure sensors may be exposed to mechanical shock, vibration, moisture and temperature changes. It provides IP67 and IP69K protection and is designed for an ambient temperature range of -25 to 90 °C. The transmitter can withstand shock levels of 50 g and vibration from 10 to 2000 Hz, making it suitable for machinery and mobile industrial applications. Its pressure rating is 150 bar, while the minimum bursting pressure is 900 bar, providing substantial mechanical pressure resistance. The transmitter also supports a minimum of 60 million pressure cycles at 1.2 times the nominal pressure.
The PL5423 operates from an 8.5 to 36 V DC supply and provides one analogue current output with a 4 to 20 mA signal. Its M12 connector with A coding provides a standardized electrical connection for industrial automation installations. Reverse polarity protection, short-circuit protection and overload protection help improve operational reliability. The transmitter can be connected to PLC analogue input modules, industrial controllers, data acquisition equipment and process monitoring systems. Its compact electrical interface and fixed analogue output make it suitable for straightforward integration into existing pressure monitoring architectures.
