Gefran supplier in Romania
Sensors, controllers, power control and automation platforms
Headquarters: Provaglio d'Iseo, Italy
Who is Gefran and what does it make?
Gefran is an Italian manufacturer of sensors, controllers and automation platforms, headquartered in Provaglio d'Iseo, near Brescia. The company covers three product areas: position, pressure, temperature and force sensors; control equipment — controllers, indicators, solid state relays and motor starters; and automation platforms, including the modular G-Mation system and the MAX monitoring platform. We can quote from any of these three areas, depending on the customer's application.
Gefran's technical strength is the wide coverage of measurement technologies — from potentiometric and magnetostrictive position transducers to high-temperature melt pressure sensors for plastic extrusion. The GSH-S and GSH-A draw-wire sensor series is certified SIL2/PL d for functional safety, and the HWJ and HMJ melt pressure transducers have Exd versions with ATEX, IECEx and NEPSIEx approvals for explosive atmospheres.
In Romania, Gefran makes sense on plastic extrusion lines, mobile machinery and industrial installations that need robust position or pressure sensors, integrated with process controllers from the same range.
What do we supply from the Gefran range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Linear Twiist position sensors and the magnetostrictive series | Contactless linear position transducers based on the magnetostrictive principle, plus potentiometric and rotary versions. Includes GSH-S and GSH-A draw-wire sensors, certified SIL2/PL d for safety loops, used on hydraulic cylinders or for stroke measurement on mobile machinery. For a quotation, the customer must state the stroke to be measured, the output type and whether the application requires safety certification. |
| Industrial and melt pressure sensors | Pressure transducers for process lines and special versions for plastic melt pressure, used directly on the extruder head or on the barrel of the injection moulding machine. They withstand the temperatures of the extrusion process, where a standard transducer would degrade. For an order, the customer must specify the pressure range, the material and the working temperature. |
| The G-Mation automation platform | Modular system with a central CPU, input/output modules, operator panels and Panel PC versions, for full machine integration — from signal acquisition to the operator interface. It is complemented by the MAX platform for machine data analysis. For a quotation, the customer must describe the desired architecture and the number of I/O modules. |
| Controllers, solid state relays and motor starters | Process controllers and indicators for temperature or pressure loops, solid state relays for switching thermal loads, and motor starters. Part of the range has ATEX-certified versions for explosive atmospheres. For an order, the customer must state the type of control loop and the power of the switched load. |

How do we supply Gefran in Romania?
For Gefran we rely on the information in the manufacturer's technical documentation and on the data sheets of the sensor and controller series — we confirm exact availability in the quotation. We bring in sensors, controllers and G-Mation modules made to order through EU sourcing channels, usually within 1–4 weeks of confirmation. For an accurate quotation we need the product code or, if you do not have it, the application parameters: the type of measurement, the working range and whether ATEX certification is needed. We do not keep permanent availability from stock for any Gefran series.
Software configuration of the G-Mation platform and of the MAX IoT platform is carried out with a system integrator.
Frequently asked questions about Gefran
What is the difference between the Gefran KM and KS transducer series?
KM and KS are families of Gefran pressure transducers.
What is the Gefran K3 pressure transducer?
K3 is a pressure transducer for high-temperature melts, with sodium-potassium (NaK) fill fluid and mV/V output.
How do I choose between the HWJ and HMJ transducers for polymer melts?
Both families are designed for measuring pressure in plastic melts, with certifications for explosive atmospheres (Exd, ATEX, IECEx), and, according to the manufacturer's technical documentation, both are transducers with a digital output via the HART protocol.
Do you supply Gefran pressure sensors in Romania?
Yes, we bring in the pressure transducers of the range described made to order, based on the Gefran data sheets; these sensors are not routinely held in our own stock. Delivery is made to order, usually 1–4 weeks, depending on the model and the certifications requested. For a quotation, send the pressure range and the measured fluid.
What should I send for a Gefran pressure transducer quotation?
You need to specify the required pressure range, the type of fluid measured, the working temperature and the desired output signal, voltage, current or digital IO-Link. This information allows the correct choice between the TK, KS, KM or TPS families and avoids wrongly sizing the sensor for your industrial application.
How do I request a Gefran quotation?
Send the Gefran code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
