KUS Marine Oil Pressure Transmitter / Pressure Sensor NPT 1/8" – Reliable Lubrication Pressure Measurement (10–184 ohms)
Effectively protect the heart of your boat! The original KUS oil pressure transducer (pressure sensor) continuously measures the actual lubricating oil pressure in your inboard, outboard, or boat transmission. It converts the mechanical pressure of the oil circuit into the standardized analog resistance range of 10 to 184 ohms. This makes it the perfect sensor partner for all analog and digital KUS oil pressure gauges at the helm.
Equipped with the world’s most widely used marine thread size— 1/8-inch NPT —this sensor can be easily and self-sealingly screwed into the engine block. The robust, pressure-resistant metal housing withstands even the harshest vibrations and extreme pressure spikes in the engine compartment over the long term.
⚠️ Important note regarding the selection of the measurement range (5 bar or 10 bar):
The oil pressure sensor must be technically compatible with your cockpit gauge. Please select the appropriate range from the menu above:
- Measuring range 5 bar (75 psi): The ideal choice for most classic marine diesel engines and displacement engines with a 5-bar gauge.
- Measuring range 10 bar (145 psi): The perfect choice for high-performance inboard engines, modern diesel or gasoline engines with a 10-bar gauge.
Note: The maximum value on the scale of your oil pressure gauge must match the selected sensor measurement range to prevent incorrect readings.
Advantages & Technical Highlights at a Glance:
- Standardized characteristic curve: Provides the international analog signal of 10–184 ohms—fully compatible with all KUS instrument series (e.g., Sea V).
- Self-sealing 1/8" NPT tapered thread: Guarantees an extremely secure, leak-tight, and vibration-resistant installation directly in the engine block’s oil passage.
- Robust, heavy-duty housing: Completely resistant to hot engine oils, fuels, cleaning chemicals, and humid, salty bilge air.
- Simple electrical connection: Equipped with a solid screw terminal for permanently reliable signal transmission without loose connections.
