Component Specifications

Definition
A calibrated mechanical transmission assembly consisting of linkages, gears, and pinions that accurately translates the linear displacement of a bourdon tube or diaphragm into proportional angular rotation of the pointer shaft, enabling precise pressure indication on analog pressure gauges.
Working Principle
The bourdon tube or sensing element deforms proportionally to applied pressure. This deformation is transferred through a linkage system to a sector gear, which engages with a pinion gear attached to the pointer shaft. The gear ratio amplifies small movements for readable scale indication while maintaining linearity.
Materials
Stainless steel (AISI 304/316) for corrosion resistance, brass for general applications, hardened alloy steel for high-precision gears, phosphor bronze for wear-resistant bushings.

  • Backlash <0.5°
  • Gear Ratio 5:1 to 20:1
  • Lubrication Dry-film or silicone-based lubricant
  • Accuracy Class EN 837-1: Class 0.6 to 2.5
  • Maximum Torque 0.5-2.0 N·cm
  • Operating Temperature -40°C to +120°C

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes pointer oscillation in pressure gauge movements?

Pointer oscillation typically results from excessive backlash in gear engagement, worn linkage joints, or insufficient damping in the movement assembly.

How often should pressure gauge movements be calibrated?

Industrial pressure gauges should undergo movement calibration every 6-12 months depending on service conditions, with more frequent checks in high-vibration or corrosive environments.

Can damaged gear teeth be repaired in pressure gauge movements?

No, damaged gear teeth require complete replacement of the gear component as repairs compromise accuracy. Precision gears are manufactured to exact tolerances.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
