Flow Sensor PFMV5 Series
  • Volume Discount

A flow sensor made by SMC.

[Features]
· Suction verification of very small work pieces
· Repeatability: ±2% F.S.
· Response speed of 5 ms or less, withstand pressure of 500 kPa
· Grease-free
· Flexible cable
· Reduced piping space
Mountable in space-saving location since straight piping length is not required

*1) Flow rates described in the specifications are the values at standard condition.
*2) The analog output shows 3 V when the flow rate is 0, changes to 5 V when the flow direction is from IN to OUT, and changes to 1 V when the direction is from OUT to IN.
*3) % F.S. in the table is based on the full scale of analog 4 V (1-5 V).
*4) 0 kPa means open air.
*5) It indicates the pressure range that satisfies the product specifications.
*6) It indicates the operable pressure range.
*7) Please contact the manufacturer for wiring.
*8) Even in striving to improve the quality, products may have small scratches, smears or variations in display color and brightness, etc., that do not affect the performance, verified as conforming products.
