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. Due to its compactness, the model PCS pressure switch can be installed in measurement environments with limited space. The robust switch enclosure from aluminium alloy or stainless steel 316L can withstand the rough and corrosive operating conditions of the process industry with working ranges of up to 1,000 bar.
