Mechanical pressure switches

Mechanical pressure switches convert fluid pressure into mechanical movement and are a cost-effective and reliable solution. It is used in a range of applications, especially those which require conversions of high currents such as those in pumps and drives.

A mechanical pressure switch is typically used in single-switch contact applications, and in safety critical applications as a redundant component, instantly kicking into action when pressure crosses a critical, pre-set point. Our range of mechanical pressure switches caters for both low demand (few switching cycles) and high demand (frequent switching cycles). Switches have a pre-set or configurable mechanical adjustment of the switch point.

Our mechanical pressure switches offer a range of features, including optional leakage ports, control lamps, lockable rotary knobs and micro switches with NC/NO contact function. Electronic connections include cable gland, plug-in or large cubic connectors.

Electronic pressure switches

Electronic pressure switches are used in applications requiring an electronic output signal. It provides more control configurability than mechanical switches with an integrated programmable logic, so switch points and output signal can be defined according to your requirements.

The electronic pressure switch is used in applications with multiple switch points and where control flexibility is required. It features a wide range of functions, including delay time, switch point, reset switch point, and hysteresis or window function.

Additionally, our electronic pressure switches feature compact designs, stainless steel and FKM media contacts, two antivalent switching outputs (or one switching output and one analogue output), electronic connection via 4-pole M12 connector and sensor thin film measuring cells.
