TYPES OF PRESSURE SWITCHES, APPLICATIONS, AND HOW THEY WORK

Pressure switches are a must have for any system that relies on maintaining optimum pressure. They come in different shapes and sizes, with each type having its own advantages. Bourdon tube, piston diaphragm or membrane based – the switch you choose depends on your specific application! When the process fluid’s pressure reaches a certain threshold or setpoint pre-set by you, these helpful devices will click into action. Take air compressors as an example: when the tank has reached enough air pressure, they’ll turn off to safeguard against over pressurization; while if it goes down requiring more massaging of molecules – bingo! The compressor turns back on right away!
Pressure Switch Pressure Switches comprise components such as diaphragms, springs, levers, electrical contacts and terminals – all working together to detect pressures. Meanwhile Pressure Transducers convert this pressure into an electrical output signal that can prove immensely useful.
