Pressure switch

Mechanical pressure switches

Mechanical pressure switches, also known as pressure monitors, are essential devices that convert pressure changes into electrical switching signals. They play a crucial role in systems such as tanks, pipelines and boilers by ensuring precise pressure monitoring. These devices are characterized by the use of diaphragms, bellows or pistons as the main elements; the pressure of the monitored medium acts directly on these components. An integrated lever and spring system, together with a snap-action or microswitch, ensures reliable switching operations without unintentional fluttering. These pressure switches often have a changeover contact (SPDT), which enables switching processes to be triggered as soon as the pressure exceeds or falls below predefined thresholds. The individual setting of the switching points also offers flexible adaptation to specific requirements.

Functions and areas of application

Mechanical pressure switches are versatile and are used to monitor and control pressure in liquids and gases. They are used in pipelines, boilers, tanks and pressure vessels. They are particularly important in process control and are used in refrigeration technology, compressed air technology and hydraulic applications. They also contribute to the monitoring of cooling and lubrication systems in a wide variety of machines. The automatic control of motors, for example in water supply or fire extinguishing systems, is supported by these pressure switches. They can be used in compressed air technology, water technology and various industrial applications - with specialized switching functions for maximum and minimum values.

Specific switching functions

These pressure switches offer special changeover functions with manual reset: one option switches and locks when the pressure drops, the other when the pressure rises. In both cases, unlocking can be carried out conveniently via a manual reset button, ensuring flexible and safe control of the operating processes.

Quality and flexibility

Mechanical pressure switches offer a high degree of precision and safety, making them a reliable solution for demanding industrial processes. Their robust design guarantees a high level of operational safety and their diverse application options promote maximum quality and reliability. These features make them the ideal choice for complex and critical pressure monitoring in different environments.
