Some of the equipment even run non-stop. Therefore, the sensors that power the machines must be up to the challenge.<\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width:158px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/files\/2021\/06\/mh_4_de_de_104798.jpg.png\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">MH-4<\/p><\/div>\n    \n<p>The MH-4\u2019s proven metal thin-film technology provides:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Excellent long-term stability<\/li>\n<li>Excellent temperature behavior and resistance to thermal cycling<\/li>\n<li>High resistance against shock and vibration<\/li>\n<li>Excellent performance in highly dynamic pressure systems<\/li>\n<li>High overpressure safety and burst pressures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other outstanding features of the MH-4:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Next-generation ASIC electronics that exhibit exceptionally low signal noise behavior<\/li>\n<li>Superior temperature stability and accuracy performance over complete measuring range<\/li>\n<li>On-board diagnostics that constantly monitor the health of the sensor and report errors to the controller via predefined signal levels<\/li>\n<li>Application-specific signal conditioning that can modify the way the controller receives the signal, for smoother and more efficient machine operation<\/li>\n<li>Easy integration into almost any machine platform and manufacturing process through a wide variety of configurations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Rigorous Testing and Quality Production<\/h2>\n<p>How do we know that the MH-4 will perform reliably and accurately under extreme conditions? We have subjected this pressure sensor to a complete array of simulated conditions and field tests that\u00a0exceed traditional requirements for OEM products.<\/p>\n<p>The manufacturing process is equally rigorous. Each step of the MH-4\u2019s lean production cycle is 100% monitored, and every sensor is tested repeatedly before it is packaged and shipped. As production is fully automated, WIKA\u2019s facilities can fulfill very large orders with short turnaround times.<\/p>\n<h2>Pressure Sensor Adapted to Your Application<\/h2>\n<p>With feedback from our OEM customers, WIKA engineers have designed the MH-4 with a wide selection of standard options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>6 output signal types<\/li>\n<li>8 pressure ranges up to 1,000 bar<\/li>\n<li>13 process connection types<span> <\/span><\/li>\n<li>20 electrical connection types<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If none of these configurations meet the needs of your particular application, our pressure specialists can create a special type to meet your specifications.<\/p>\n<h2>WIKA USA, Part of Your OEM Business<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/media\/Data-sheets\/Pressure\/Pressure-sensors\/ds_pe8163_en_co.pdf\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span>MH-4<\/span><\/a> incorporates technology innovations, advanced materials, lean production processes, and strict quality control.
