Sensors developed in free form design for a wide variety of measuring tasks, is that possible? We have the answer!

Thanks to the merkapSOR® technology used in our polymer sensors, this is as possible. In contrast to traditional metal sensors, the polymer-based injection moulding method makes it possible to create lighter and more robust sensors. A key advantage is the freedom of design, enabling the production of industrial sensors in a wide variety of shapes and specifications.

Furthermore, these sensors are lighter, more resistant to vibration, impact and condensation. In addition, thanks to the use of special modified polymers, these sensors become excellent thermal conductivity, which guarantees precise and fast measurements.

Our solutions focus on measurements such as:

• Temperature and humidity sensors
• Pressure sensors
• Flow sensors: based on the calorimetric and ultrasonic measurement principle.
• DFM (Digital Freeform Multisensors) - combination of different sensors in one digital sensor node

Polymer based sensors - applications

In today's world, sensor technology plays a key role in many industries, from automotive to aerospace. Through innovative solutions such as polymer sensors, companies are able to achieve higher levels of precision, reliability and efficiency in their products and services. Below are some applications of PGT (Member of the JUMO Group) sensors in various industry sectors:

Temperature sensors for HVAC

Polymer temperature sensors are used in all kinds of radiators, heating systems, boilers, wall radiators, combination radiators, instantaneous water heaters or as room sensors. Particular applications are heat pumps or systems for combined heat and power generation.

Temperature, pressure and flow sensors for the automotive industry

Today's sensor technology plays a key role not only in major vehicle powertrains, but also in all functional systems inside and around the car. Traditional sensors often fail in the automotive industry because they require miles of wiring and numerous connection points, complicating the manufacturing, servicing and reliability of key vehicle systems.

The optimum alternative is polymer sensors integrated into individual system components, significantly reducing the need for complex installation. What's more, thanks to their good thermal conductivity, these sensors provide exceptional efficiency and advantages in terms of durability and performance.

Temperature, pressure and flow sensors for hybrid and electric vehicles

Traditional fossil-fuel-powered vehicles are increasingly being replaced by hybrids and electrics. Thanks to the use of thermally conductive polymers, PGT sensors integrate perfectly into vehicle components, measuring temperature, pressure or flow in various parts of the vehicle, such as batteries. Additionally, with the growing interest in fuel cell propulsion, PGT sensor technology is finding more and more applications, providing the precise data needed to optimize modern propulsion systems.

Temperature, pressure and flowsensors for household appliances

By being able to adapt sensors to specific installation requirements, products become more functional and tailored to the end user's expectations. Accurate measurements of temperature, pressure or flow guarantee optimal operation of the devices, increasing their value in the market. In addition, state-of-the-art radio sensor technology enables the creation of intelligent solutions.

We offer installation- and assembly-optimized temperature sensors for coffee machines, washing machines, different sensors for fridges and freezers, among others. Our sensor technology is also used in various small household appliances, mainly for temperature measurement in hair dryers, hoovers, kettles, barbecues or microwave ovens and many more.

Temperature sensors for pumps

We offer sensors for winding and medium monitoring which, by adapting to specific installation conditions, can be permanently integrated into the pump housing. Such an innovation allows accurate measurements in areas that were often inaccessible to traditional solutions. What's more, our products are characterised by a high resistance to vibration, thanks to overmolding technology. Our solutions include winding temperature sensors, flow measurement and shutdown elements.

Temperature sensors for electric hand tools

Characterised by their minimal weight and compact design, polymer probes are the optimum solution for hand tools that have to withstand intensive mechanical and thermal loads. Thanks to their exceptional resistance to vibration, they guarantee reliability and precision, becoming an indispensable component in automatic gas control machines, impact hammers and other motorised tools. What's more, they play a key role in monitoring the condition of the batteries, ensuring long-lasting and trouble-free operation of the equipment.

Temperature sensors for aerospace applications

The aviation industry, striving for the highest safety and economic efficiency, is making increasing use of polymer sensors. Our sensors, integrated into key components, respond to the growing demands of the sector, including the optimization of repair planning.

DFM - Digital Freeform Multisensor IOT with LoraWAN and Bluetooth Low Energy protocols

DFM - Digital Freeform Multisensor technology is a modern approach to sensors in the Internet of Things (IoT) era. Our innovative polymer sensors are based on radio communication such as Bluetooth or LoRaWAN. What's more, our sensors are already equipped with advanced communication interfaces such as I²C, SPE, CAN, Ethernet or BACnet, making them versatile and ready for integration into a variety of systems. These technologies make it possible to remotely monitor and analyse data from different devices and systems. This not only increases operational efficiency, but also allows for a faster response to potential problems.

Polymer measuring sensors - advantages

Modern measurement sensor technology is undergoing a revolution thanks to the use of polymers. What makes polymer sensors stand out from traditional solutions?

1. No limit to shape: Thanks to the flexibility of polymers, these sensors can take on almost any shape, adapting to the specific requirements of the application or mounting location. This opens the door to creating custom solutions that would be impossible with traditional materials.
2. Signal versatility: Polymer sensors can be designed to transmit a variety of signals depending on the user's needs. This can be a wired analogue signal, a digital signal or even a wireless signal, giving great flexibility for integration with other systems.
3. Versatility of the measured parameter: Whether it is temperature, pressure, humidity, flow or any other parameter, polymer sensors can be customized for a variety of applications. This makes them a versatile tool for many industries, from industry to medicine.

In summary, polymer measurement sensors offer unprecedented flexibility and versatility. With them, engineers and designers now have a tool that allows even the most ambitious and complex projects to be realized while maintaining measurement accuracy.

Certification of thermoplastic sensors

Our polymer sensors are manufactured to the highest quality standards, as evidenced by our ISO 9001 quality management certification. Thanks to carefully designed work processes and regular audits, our customers can rest assured that they are receiving products of a consistently high-quality standard. Each production step is precisely defined and responsibility for individual quality-related activities is clearly assigned to specific employees.

But our commitment to quality does not end with the product itself. We also care about the environment, as evidenced by our ISO 14001 certification for environmental management. We minimize environmental risks, conserve resources and continuously improve our performance in this area.
