HM Series — Piezoresistive Technology
HM10 Compact Pressure Sensor
The HM10 is a precision piezoresistive pressure sensor designed specifically for OEM equipment manufacturers who need raw millivolt output in the smallest possible package. At just 250 grams with a stainless steel body, the HM10 delivers ±0.1% FS accuracy across a 10 kPa to 70 MPa range.
Raw Sensing Performance for OEM Design Engineers
Most pressure transmitters include integrated signal conditioning — converting the raw bridge output into a standardized 4-20mA or voltage signal. The HM10 deliberately omits this layer. Instead, it provides a clean 70-110 mV DC full-scale output directly from the laser-trimmed Wheatstone bridge, powered by either 1.5 mA constant current or 10-24 V DC constant voltage excitation.
This approach gives OEM design engineers full control over signal conditioning, amplification, filtering, and digitization using their own electronics. If you’re designing a smart sensor module, an IoT edge device, or a custom DAQ system, the HM10 gives you the highest-quality raw pressure signal in the most compact form factor.
The German-imported precision sensing element is laser-trimmed for both zero offset and temperature compensation across -10 to 50°C. Thermal hysteresis is specified at ±0.1% FS. The HM10’s all-stainless construction (316L diaphragm, 1Cr18Ni9Ti body) handles gases and liquids compatible with austenitic stainless steel. At 250 grams, it fits into tight spaces on compressors, pumps, actuators, and test fixtures.
HM10 Technical Specifications
Key Features
Ultra-Fast 1 ms Response
The HM10’s ≤1 ms response time makes it suitable for dynamic pressure measurement — hydraulic pulse testing, engine combustion analysis, and pneumatic valve response characterization. The mV output preserves the full bandwidth of the sensing element.
10⁸ Cycle Lifetime
Rated for 100 million pressure cycles, the HM10 handles continuous cycling of hydraulic systems, compressor pulsation, and reciprocating pump applications without performance degradation.
Dual Excitation Options
Power the bridge with 1.5 mA constant current (for battery-powered applications and minimal self-heating) or 10-24 V DC constant voltage (simpler integration with existing power supplies).
250 g Compact Package
Half the weight of a standard industrial transmitter, the HM10 fits into space-constrained test fixtures, robotic end-effectors, mobile hydraulic manifolds, and medical device housings.
OEM & Integration Applications
Custom Transmitter Design
Electronics manufacturers use the HM10 as the core sensing element in their own branded pressure transmitters, adding proprietary signal conditioning, communication protocols (CAN, LIN, IO-Link), and housing designs.
Test & Measurement Equipment
Hydraulic test stands, burst/leak test machines, and automotive powertrain test cells need the HM10’s raw mV output for direct connection to precision DAQ systems (NI, HBM, Kistler). The ≤1 ms response captures transient events.
Medical Device Integration
Ventilator pressure monitoring, infusion pump occlusion detection, and hyperbaric chamber pressure control. The HM10’s compact size, low power excitation (1.5 mA), and high resolution suit medical equipment design.
IoT Sensor Nodes
Battery-powered wireless sensor platforms pair the HM10 with a low-power ADC and wireless MCU (LoRa, BLE, NB-IoT). The 1.5 mA constant current excitation consumes minimal power.
