Application index

Where Firelands sensors fit.

Start with the equipment. We will help work backward from the operating conditions and control requirements to the sensor configuration.

01

Hydraulic Power Units

A hydraulic power unit needs clear feedback on pressure, temperature, and fluid movement to protect the equipment and give the control system useful operating information.

Firelands can help select and configure sensing around pump discharge, return lines, filters, reservoirs, accumulators, and critical machine circuits.

Available sensing paths

Pressure transmitters / Digital pressure switches / Temperature switches and transmitters / Flow switches / Differential pressure sensors

02

Pumps

Pump performance depends on what is happening at the inlet, discharge, seal, bearings, and drive. The right measurements make loss of flow, changing pressure, heat, and abnormal load easier to see.

Firelands can review the media, range, connections, outputs, and installation points needed to monitor and protect the pump in its actual system.

Available sensing paths

Pressure transmitters / Differential pressure sensors / Flow switches / Temperature sensors / Dynamic torque sensors

03

Compressors

Compressors combine pressure, heat, lubrication, and rotating equipment in one demanding application. Sensor selection must account for the media, vibration, temperature, and control strategy.

Firelands supports measurement at the inlet, discharge, lubrication circuit, cooling system, and other points used for machine protection and process feedback.

Available sensing paths

Pressure switches and transmitters / Temperature sensors / Flow switches / Differential pressure sensors / Torque measurement

04

Industrial Automation

Automated equipment needs reliable feedback to confirm position, force, pressure, temperature, and process state. The useful sensor is the one that fits the mechanism and communicates cleanly with the controls.

Firelands can help match stroke, range, mounting, output, connector, and environmental protection to the machine design.

Available sensing paths

Linear position sensors / Load cells / Pressure sensors / Temperature sensors / Application-specific feedback devices

05

Injection Molding Equipment

Injection molding equipment brings together hydraulic pressure, barrel temperature, clamp movement, load, and cycle feedback. Each measurement has different mechanical and thermal constraints.

Firelands works with OEM and plant teams to configure sensors around the machine envelope, installation method, operating temperature, and control requirements.

Available sensing paths

Hydraulic pressure sensors / High-temperature sensors / RTD temperature sensors / Linear position sensors / Force sensors

06

Extrusion Machinery

Extrusion processes depend on stable temperature, melt pressure, drive load, and cooling. Measurement points often operate in high heat, tight spaces, or demanding material environments.

Firelands can help define probe geometry, pressure range, process connection, material, output, and protection for the actual extrusion line.

Available sensing paths

High-temperature sensors / Temperature transmitters / Pressure transmitters / Dynamic torque sensors / Cooling flow switches

07

Production Equipment

Production machines rarely need just one measurement. Pressure, temperature, position, and force often work together to confirm that the process is running as intended.

Firelands helps organize the sensing requirement by machine function, then configures each device around the available space, control system, and operating conditions.

Available sensing paths

Pressure and temperature sensors / Linear position sensors / Load cells / Flow switches / Configured sensing assemblies

08

Test Stands

Test equipment must create repeatable conditions and capture measurements that engineers can trust. Range, accuracy, mounting, signal type, and test sequence all matter.

Firelands can support individual sensors or help define a practical measurement package around the component, loads, and operating conditions being evaluated.

Available sensing paths

Pressure and temperature sensors / Load cells / Dynamic torque sensors / Position sensors / Flow and differential pressure sensors

09

Gearboxes

Gearboxes generate useful signals through temperature, torque, oil condition, pressure, and load. The best measurement points depend on the drive arrangement and the failure modes that matter.

Firelands can help select measurement ranges and mounting configurations for test equipment, OEM machinery, and condition feedback.

Available sensing paths

Dynamic torque sensors / Temperature sensors / Pressure sensors / Load cells / Position feedback

10

Lubrication Systems

Lubrication systems need confirmation that fluid is present, moving, and reaching the required pressure and temperature. Small changes can become significant equipment problems.

Firelands can configure sensors for oil type, line size, pressure range, switching point, temperature, electrical output, and filter monitoring.

Available sensing paths

Flow switches / Pressure switches and transmitters / Temperature sensors / Differential pressure sensors

11

Cooling Systems

Cooling performance depends on temperature, flow, and pressure across the circuit. Sensors must fit the fluid, piping, electrical system, and response required by the machine controls.

Firelands supports cooling loops on hydraulic systems, process equipment, drives, tooling, and other heat-sensitive industrial machinery.

Available sensing paths

Temperature switches and transmitters / RTD sensors / Flow switches / Pressure sensors / Differential pressure sensors

12

Material Handling Equipment

Material handling systems use position, force, pressure, and motion feedback to control movement and confirm that loads are being managed safely and consistently.

Firelands can help configure sensing for cylinders, lifts, clamps, conveyors, actuators, and other mechanisms where mounting and durability matter.

Available sensing paths

Linear position sensors / Load cells / Hydraulic pressure sensors / Force sensors / Application-specific feedback devices
