OEM Pressure Sensors: Custom Pressure Sensors from DDM Sensors

As a specialist in application-specific pressure sensor technology, we at DDM Sensors develop and manufacture OEM pressure sensors that are tailored exactly to your application. Our production at our facility in Fulda, Germany guarantees high product quality and availability. We implement both custom solutions from a batch size of 1 as well as series productions of up to 10,000 units per year.

Properties of OEM Pressure Sensors from DDM Sensors

OEM pressure sensors from DDM Sensors feature a highly miniaturized design, enabling integration even within limited installation spaces. They are engineered for use with high media temperatures of up to +180°C and offer precise measurement even in very small millibar pressure ranges.

Technical Specifications of Our OEM Pressure Sensors

Measurement Principles & Technologies

We rely on proven and robust sensor technologies to guarantee maximum reliability and accuracy. Our portfolio includes piezoresistive pressure sensors, characterized by high sensitivity, as well as metal thin-film-on-steel technology, which offers outstanding long-term stability and overload resistance.

Available Pressure Sensor Types

We supply absolute pressure sensors for measurement relative to a perfect vacuum, relative (gauge) pressure sensors for measuring overpressure and underpressure (vacuum) relative to atmospheric pressure, and differential pressure sensors for capturing the pressure difference between two process connections.

Measuring Ranges & Media Compatibility

We implement pressure sensors for a wide spectrum of measuring ranges. This extends from low-pressure ranges in the millibar scale to standard pressure ranges in bar, up to high-pressure applications exceeding 1,000 bar. Through the selection of appropriate materials, we ensure compatibility with various media, including aggressive gases and liquids as well as chemically aggressive substances.

Electrical Interfaces & Output Signals

For seamless integration into your systems, we equip our OEM pressure sensors with the appropriate electrical interfaces. We offer various analog output signals, such as ratiometric voltage or current signals, as well as common digital interfaces for direct communication with your control electronics.

Mechanical Customization Options

Mechanical adaptation is one of our core competencies in the development of OEM solutions. We realize customer-specific pressure connections with the thread types and sizes you require. Furthermore, we adapt housing materials and shapes to your installation situation and offer flexible options for the electrical connection, whether through specific plug connectors or custom cable assembly.

In addition, we develop specialized solutions for pioneering fields such as hydrogen applications and e-mobility.

Medical Technology

For demanding medical technology, we supply high-precision and reliable pressure sensors. They are an essential component in life-support systems such as dialysis and ventilator equipment, as well as in a variety of diagnostic instruments where maximum accuracy is required.

HVAC Technology (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning)

In the field of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), our sensors serve to increase efficiency and operational safety. Typical areas of application are pressure monitoring in refrigerant circuits, filter monitoring in ventilation systems, and further applications in modern building technology.

Other Industries

In addition to the core markets mentioned, our custom pressure sensors are also deployed in many other high-tech sectors. These include, among others, applications in the renewable energy sector, aerospace, and high-precision testing and measurement technology.

Your Development Partner: From Idea to Series Product

The DDM Sensors Development Process for OEM Pressure Sensors

Our structured development process guides you from the initial idea to series readiness.

• Analysis of Customer Requirements & Process Conditions: The development process of the OEM pressure sensors begins with a detailed technical requirements analysis and consultation to fully understand your process conditions.
• Concept Development & Solution Proposal: Based on the requirements, conception, design, and simulation (e.g., using FEM) take place.
• Design & Development: Following the conception, we create and validate prototypes, whereby prototype manufacturing takes a few weeks to months after design release, depending on complexity.
• Series Production: After successful qualification and series release, we take over series production and subsequent lifecycle management for your product.

Our Core Competencies as an OEM Manufacturer for Pressure Sensors

Our strength lies in application-specific pressure sensor development, creating tailored solutions for your applications. A high level of vertical integration ensures full process control and flexibility. Our certified quality management, a seamless calibration process, and end-of-line testing of every single sensor guarantee the highest product quality. Thanks to scalable production capacities, we are also able to realize projects with quantities exceeding 10,000 units per year following a corresponding expansion of capacities.
