Quick Verdict
When you're sorting through industrial sensors, encoders, and machine safety gear, the first decision is about function, not brand. The Honeywell 89028 4 Industrial Pressure Sensor is built for pressure sensing, while the Schmersal BNS 33-12ZG Magnetic Safety Sensor is built for machine safety control. If your job is to monitor pressure, the Honeywell is the obvious pick for that task. If your job is to guard a machine with a magnetic safety sensor, the Schmersal is the specialized component to choose.
Think of it as matching the sensor to the hazard. If the hazard you're managing is pressure in a system, the Honeywell pressure sensor is the relevant part. If the hazard you're managing calls for machine safety control, the Schmersal magnetic safety sensor is the relevant part. Choosing the wrong type means the part won't address the problem.
Comparison Table
| Product | Price | Relative Price | Main Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| Honeywell 89028 4 Industrial Pressure Sensor | USD 23.95 | Industrial pressure sensing | |
| Schmersal BNS 33-12ZG Magnetic Safety Sensor | USD 153.00 | Machine safety control |
With the lower-priced pressure sensor and the higher-priced magnetic safety sensor, the decision should start with the application, not the price tag.
Where Each Product Wins
Honeywell 89028 4 Industrial Pressure Sensor - Choose this when your setup needs a new, industrial pressure sensor and you don't need safety interlocking. The Model 103716 / MPN 8902842131 identifiers give you a clear part reference.
Schmersal BNS 33-12ZG Magnetic Safety Sensor - Choose this when your machine needs a magnetic safety sensor as part of its safety control. The BNS 33-12ZG model and ID179748 reference make it a specific, identifiable part.
Product Notes
Honeywell 89028 4 Industrial Pressure Sensor
At $23.95, the Honeywell 89028 4 Industrial Pressure Sensor is the lower-priced route into industrial pressure sensing. It's listed as new, with the model 103716 and MPN 8902842131, so you have concrete part numbers to use in your planning. It's intended for industrial use. The limitation is the function: this is a pressure sensor, not a safety interlock. If your machine relies on a magnetic safety sensor to protect operators, this Honeywell won't cover that role. For straightforward pressure monitoring, though, it's a direct choice.
Schmersal BNS 33-12ZG Magnetic Safety Sensor
The Schmersal BNS 33-12ZG Magnetic Safety Sensor is a specialized purchase for machine safety control, priced at $153.00. This is a new, single sensor with the BNS 33-12ZG model designation and the ID179748 reference. If your machinery uses a magnetic safety sensor for machine safety control, this is exactly the category of part you need. The trade-off is the price and the narrower role: it's not a general-purpose pressure sensor, so it's the wrong pick for pressure-monitoring tasks. It's a safety-control component through and through, so the decision should be driven by the safety requirement, not by cost alone.
Final Choice by Use Case
- If your project is about sensing pressure in an industrial process, choose the Honeywell 89028 4 Industrial Pressure Sensor.
- If your project is about machine safety control and requires a magnetic safety sensor, choose the Schmersal BNS 33-12ZG.
That keeps the purchase aligned with the actual need. It all comes down to the task at hand.
