Overview
The Magpowr IP-80 current to pressure transducer is an industrial-duty electro-pneumatic converter designed to translate 4-20 mA DC control signals into regulated pneumatic pressure output. Built into this compact, vibration- and shock-resistant industrial duty unit is an accurate, easy-to-read pressure gauge that monitors output pressure. The flexible IP-80 operates on normal filtered shop air and allows a wide variation in supply pressure, offers high flow and exhaust characteristics to insure rapid response. This unit is widely used in web tension control, clutch and brake actuation, and automated manufacturing systems.
