Choosing a pressure sensor for an industrial panel or machine-safety setup is usually a matchup between acquisition cost and specification clarity. The two options here make that tension obvious: the ifm efector PI1093 pressure sensor is listed at USD 425.00, while the Honeywell 89028 industrial pressure sensor is listed at USD 23.95. The USD 401.05 gap means you're not deciding between similar alternatives; you're deciding whether the ifm sensor's stated feature set is worth the extra spend for your project. One listing gives you a transducer-focused spec package; the other gives you a clearly identified industrial sensor at a much lower price.
Quick verdict: If you can work with a clean identification and an industrial application tag, the Honeywell 89028 is the direct buy. If your process needs a transducer-grade specification package, the ifm PI1093 has the stated details to pay attention to.
| Product | Listed price | Price bar | Condition | Key specs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ifm efector PI1093 | USD 425.00 | New - Open box | Analog output; DC current; absolute pressure type; connector termination | |
| Honeywell 89028 4 Industrial Pressure Sensor | USD 23.95 | New | Industrial application; Model 103716; Part number 8902842131 |
The table draws the line clearly: the ifm listing is transducer-oriented, while the Honeywell listing centers on part identification. That does not make one automatically better; it makes them answers to different purchasing questions. The real choice is which of those two detail sets matches the sensor location you're planning to fill.
Where each product wins
- The ifm efector PI1093 wins when you need a sensor that behaves like a transducer rather than just a switch. The listing names the signal-related details, so there is little guesswork about what kind of signal to expect.
- The Honeywell 89028 wins when the buying decision is about matching a part. The listing supplies the Honeywell brand, model 103716, and part number 8902842131, all in new condition.
Product Notes
ifm efector PI1093
The ifm efector PI1093 is the more specification-forward option in this pairing. The listing spells out an analog output, a DC current type, an absolute pressure type, and connector termination, which gives you a concrete picture of the signal behavior to expect. That makes it a stronger starting point for control and monitoring tasks where the sensor has to communicate back to a controller. The stated condition is New - Open box, so the unit is not in a factory-sealed package; that is the main caveat. Its listed price also sits well above the Honeywell listing, so this is a considered purchase rather than a casual one. For a project that needs those stated transducer specs, this is the option that names them.
Honeywell 89028 4 Industrial Pressure Sensor
The Honeywell 89028 is a new-listed industrial pressure sensor with the Honeywell name, model 103716, and part number 8902842131 tied to it. Having those identifiers in the listed data makes it easy to match against a replacement need. The application is listed as industrial, which fits the machine-level sensing context this article covers. The distinguishing details here are identification and condition rather than electrical output, so a buyer with a control loop may need to look at the ifm for that kind of specification. For a buyer who can rely on the part number, this is a direct, low-priced candidate.
Final choice by use case
If your process demands transducer-grade specifications, the ifm PI1093 should be on your list. If you need the Honeywell 8902842131 part, the Honeywell 89028 is the practical pick. No matter which you choose, the decision is really about specification depth versus part identification.
