Pressure Gauges

Detect leaks and make adjustments with ease with Matara’s range of pressure gauges. Take real-time readings and ensure your pneumatic systems function seamlessly with these accurate and easy-to-use air-preparation components. 

What is a Pneumatic Pressure Gauge?

Pneumatic pressure gauges are used to measure the air pressure in a system. This pressure is responsible for the pneumatic system’s operation, and gauges are necessary to determine whether there is sufficient air pressure and to localise any leaks.

They are typically made from stainless steel or brass, making them incredibly tough and long-lasting. At Matara, our pressure gauges are designed to provide accurate long-term readings, helping you prevent damage and downtime.

Pressure gauges record pressure in PSI (pounds per square inch) on a spring-operated dial. Different models can record various PSI ranges, and pneumatic air pressure gauges can be used with a variety of components and systems, including pneumatic cylinders, air compressors, and heavy machinery.

Choosing Between an Analogue or Digital Pressure Gauge

Pneumatic pressure gauges can record readings via a spring- or tube-controlled needle or via a digital display driven by electrical sensors. Digital gauges can provide more accurate readings thanks to their more technologically advanced systems, though the durable construction of analogue pneumatic gauges makes them better suited for systems that vibrate or are subject to harsh conditions.

Analogue pneumatic gauges don’t rely on external power, making them ideal for remote reading. Digital gauges, on the other hand, can often feature additional functionality such as data logging and/or tracking.
