Diaphragm pressure switch, flameproof enclosure Ex d
Description
These high-quality mechanical pressure switches have been developed especially for safety-critical applications. The great advantage of mechanical pressure switches is that no supply voltage is required for the switching process.
In production, the switches are traced by quality assurance software at every step and subsequently are 100 % tested. The robust switch enclosure from aluminium alloy can withstand the rough and corrosive operating conditions of the process industry with working ranges of up to 600 bar. The pressure switch is fitted with 1 or 2 microswitches, which make it possible to switch an electrical load of up to AC 250 V, 20 A directly.
For lower switching power ratings, such as for PLC applications, argon gas-filled microswitches with gold-plated contacts are available.
Special features
- Robust switch enclosure from aluminium alloy, IP66, NEMA 4X
- Setting ranges from 16 mbar to 600 bar, also all other equivalent vacuum or combined pressure and vacuum ranges
- 1 or 2 independent switch points, high switching power up to AC 250 V, 20 A
- Switch point repeatability < 1 %
