PRESSURE SWITCH

  • Thin-film technology: in-house developed core competence
  • Highly robust (ISO 16750-3 and DIN-EN 60068-2-80)
  • IPX9K sealed housing
  • Used successfully in the most challenging of applications 
  • Customer-tailored variants available

For pressure switching tasks in pneumatic and hydraulic systems, we offer a modular pressure switch system that provides the right answer to every requirement. Pressure connection, pressure range, electrical connection and switching type can be combined in almost any way. The pressure switches have been developed for use in harsh ambient conditions and have the E1 test mark. The mechanical and electronic properties have been specified for this purpose. In addition to the numerous combination options, we also offer the design, manufacture and supply of OEM versions. Silicon measuring cells are used for lower pressure ranges, up to 7 bar. These can be used at media temperatures from -40 °C to +85 °C. For high pressure ranges, from 10 bar to 2000 bar, which are often required for use in mobile machinery, welded stainless steel measuring cells are used. These are generally suitable for media temperatures from -40 °C to +150 °C. Depending on the choice of measuring cell and the material in contact with the medium, the pressure switches can be used with aggressive gases and liquids. Versions in 316L stainless steel for use with hydrogen are also available on request.


CASE STUDIES

While we are proud of our products and solutions, it is through our customers’ applications that the power in the innovative technology is unleashed.  Whether fully networked, highly automated, or operating fully autonomously, an effective mobile machine represents first class interdisciplinary engineering. Robust and safe integration into the system architecture of the machine and its work processes, while remaining convenient and user friendly, is the main focus. With thanks to our customers, here we would like to present a small selection of example applications.
