On utility vehicles most of the different working involved are driven by hydraulic systems, like on garbage trucks, municipal service vehicles, dump trucks, etc. In particular, the vehicle for the collection of waste also called "waste compactor" have a hydraulic system on board that is no more than a press that is used to compress the waste before storage in the tipper. The pressing force is generated hydraulically, so precise and reliable oil pressure control is fundamental. These vehicles usually work in every weather condition, so the environment is very severe (vibration, temperature, water, dust, etc.) and the space available is often very small, that means it’s necessary to install a compact, robust and sealed pressure sensor, like the ones available on Gefran pressure sensor range.
