Temperature Sensors for Railway Vehicles

The company SENSIT s.r.o. from Rožnov pod Radhoštěm, known in the Czech market of temperature sensors since 1991, has begun the development, manufacture and supply of special temperature sensors for railway vehicles since 2004.

Products for this segment must have specific properties defined in the so-called railway standards (EN 50155, EN 61373, EN 50121-3-2 and EN 45545-2). They include especially resistance to vibration and electrical safety.

They have to meet fire standards, and electronic components have to meet the conditions for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). All these characteristics are taken into consideration during development – this is confirmed with a test report and a certificate issued by an independent technical and properly accredited testing laboratory.

SENSIT, s.r.o., is also engaged in the manufacture of temperature sensors in various industries. The standard temperature range of the sensors is from -200 °C to 600 °C and the diameter of the resistance temperature sensors is from 1.5 mm. In recent years, company’s product range has expanded with humidity sensors and flow sensors. Since 2015, we have been presenting also the inductive sensors and the optical level sensors on our website.

As a significant competitive advantage, SENSIT s.r.o. maintains the capability of small series or piece production. High flexibility in relation to the special requirements of customers enables the company to react flexibly to their needs in terms of composition of the custom range, as well as in time performance.

The high level of quality of its products is ensured, among other ways, through the performance of regular and repeat type tests of the properties of products or through the sophisticated operation of cycling 7 to 10 cycles in temperature intervals from -10 °C to 80 °C with the objective of detecting critical manufacturing defects. A standard part of production processes is initial calibration and output inspection. The final products are thus supplied in the guaranteed quality, which is reflected in the low percentage of justified complaints.

SENSIT s.r.o. meets the requirements of standards EN ISO 9001, EN ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 for all areas of its activities, as evidenced by valid certificates.
