83-110 KTY Temperature sensor

KTY sensor - winding temperature monitoring and general temperature measurement

The KTY sensor is used for temperature measurement and monitoring of critical temperatures on surfaces and inside machines and systems. In harsh industrial applications, the sensor can be used wherever accurate measurements are required with a cost-effective sensor.

Analogue temperature measurement, switching function for: Household and consumer electronics (white and brown goods):
Temperature measurement of solid, liquid and gaseous media, temperature compensation of semiconductors.

Data communication technology:
Temperature compensation of semiconductors in industrial electronics
Continuous monitoring of the motor temperature in conjunction with a triggering device (no full protection)
Temperature compensation of copper coils, cold junction compensation of thermocouples, temperature stabilisation of laser diodes and photo elements (LCD), logging of process data (switching function)

Automotive technology:
Cooling water and oil temperature measurement and monitoring, air conditioning of the passenger compartment

Heating and air conditioning technology:
Measurement of water temperature, intake air temperature, room temperature, for self-cleaning process in ovens

Textile industry:
Thread temperature measurement

Indirect measurements:
Scanning of liquid level controls, thermal conductivity of gases and liquids, flow velocity, tightness of tanks

Functional principle:
The KTY sensor is a temperature-dependent component. If the temperature increases, the resistance of the KTY sensor also increases. Its characteristic curve is almost linear in the measuring range. Static charging can lead to measurement inaccuracies.

Advantages of the sensor:
Larger useful signal than Pt 100
Lower mass
Fast response time
Very long service life and high long-term stability
