IFM SA5000 Flow Sensor – SAD10XDBFRKG/US-100

The IFM SA5000 is a calorimetric flow sensor designed for monitoring the flow of liquids and gases in industrial systems, including water, glycol solutions, air, and oils. With a measuring range up to 200 m/s (relative mode for gases), the SA5000 offers exceptional accuracy, response time, and versatile output options, including analogue, switching, frequency, and IO-Link communication. Built to withstand pressures up to 100 bar, it features gold-plated contacts, an alphanumeric LED display, and robust construction suitable for harsh environments.
