Measurement technology in compressors
Roland Sachs | ApplicationsThe measurement technology used in compressors is tending to increase more and more. And for good reason. The balancing act between increased compressed air demands and reduced energy consumption also depends, to a large extent, on the intelligent use of measuring …
Repeatability or non-repeatability?
Michèle Beyer | Know-howAs a product manager, you sometimes face the challenge of making decisions for which there is no “right” or “wrong”. What sounds very philosophical at first has a very real background. The repeatability or, indeed, non-repeatability of a pressure switch …
Pressure switches with IP65 and IP67 ingress protection
Jens Bargon | Pressure, ProductsAn important specification for industrial measuring instruments in general, and pressure sensors in particular, is the ingress protection. In this context, an assumed typographical error in our data sheets for the PSD-4, PSD-30, PSD-31 and PSA-31 electronic pressure …
Material science of mechanical pressure switches
Jing Lyu | Know-howFor different applications, the careful and application-oriented selection of the materials of the parts is the key factor for selecting suitable mechanical pressure switches for the industrial machines. The medium and medium temperature are critical factors for an …
