 [ Our pressure sensors are one
of the leading technologies in
the world of industrial testing ]

Pressure is a vital parameter in millions of industrial processes

and applications today. When it comes to pressure sensing,
the Druck product range embodies over 40 years of experience
designing and manufacturing some of the most accurate and
reliable pressure measurement solutions on the market. Druck’s
range of pressure technologies gives you peace of mind that
you are getting the reliable data you need, to make the right
decisions to keep your business and equipment running safely.

When it comes to data gathering in industrial Test applications

pressure sensors are highly suited for use in On-vehicle test
these challenging industrial applications: On-vehicle testing means dealing with limited space,
rapid changes in temperature and high vibration
environments. Managing your instrumentation
effectively in such conditions requires speed,
precision and accuracy.

Engine test cells

Engine test cells are challenging environments,
producing dust, dirt and corrosive chemicals.
When faced with an unpredictable operating
environment, robust construction is essential
to reliable data collection.

PACE
Fast and flexible pressure
control solutions.

Druck’s PACE product line is a modular pressure control

system that brings together the latest pressure control
and measurement technologies to offer an elegant,
fast, flexible, and economical solution to pressure
calibration, verification, and control.

Within an automotive testing environment speed,

efficiency and reliability is key. Providing all of that is
the PACE pressure controller from Druck. Our pressure
controllers interchangeable control module translates
to virtually zero downtime, as a replacement control
module can be quickly fitted to allow pressure
range change, calibration or service. Through
the implementation of PACE into an automotive
company’s production line, our customer has been
able to reduce calibration time from 90 seconds, to
17 seconds. This equates to over 121,000 hours being
saved over the course of a year, resulting in huge
efficiency and productivity gains.
PACE employs full digital control to provide high
control stability and high slew rate, while its digitally
characterized pressure sensor offers the quality,
stability, higher bandwidth and precision associated
with this latest generation of piezo-resistive devices
suited for your automotive testing environment.
Druck’s pressure control system combines the fastest
pressure controllers with the most accurate control
module - CM3. Due to the implementation of Druck
established TERPS® (Trench Etched Resonant Pressure
Sensor) technology at its core, our PACE CM3 delivers
unprecedented metrological characteristics and
resultant levels of performance.
