Core offering

STS Sensor Technik Sirnach designs and manufactures industrial measurement sensors for pressure, level, temperature, and flow. It sells both standard configurable transmitters and fully customized sensor solutions built with piezo-resistive, hydrostatic, and electromagnetic measuring technologies for demanding industrial and environmental applications.

Product overview

STS Sensors (Sensor Technik Sirnach) offers a comprehensive portfolio of industrial measurement sensors developed and produced in Switzerland. The product range includes four core sensor categories: (1) Pressure sensors utilizing piezoresistive measuring cells covering relative, absolute, and differential pressure applications with ranges from 0.05 mbar to 1000 bar; (2) Level sensors based on hydrostatic measurement principles for liquid level monitoring in tanks, wells, and groundwater monitoring; (3) Temperature sensors for process and environmental temperature monitoring; and (4) Flow sensors using electromagnetic measuring principles for precise flow measurement of conductive liquids. The product architecture follows a modular design approach, allowing customers to configure measuring ranges, output signals (4-20 mA, RS485, Modbus, HART, SDI-12), and materials (stainless steel, Titanium, Hastelloy, Ceramic, Tantalum) to meet specific application requirements. Specialized variants include ATEX/IECEx certified versions for explosive environments, FM/FM-C certified products for hazardous locations, maritime-certified sensors (DNV, Lloyd's Register, ABS), and hygienic designs for food industry applications. The company also offers customized sensor manufacturing services for unique application requirements.
