What advantages do pressure switches with metal bellows offer and what is the basis for these? The advantages are based on the seamless design of their measuring system. This solution enables permanently stable repeatability and, at the same time, eliminates the risk …
Pressure switch
SIL-certified: Functional safety with mechanical switches
July Yang | Know-howMechanical pressure and temperature switches perform sensitive tasks in safety-relevant applications, e.g. the safety function and monitoring of limit values. Their functional safety must be guaranteed accordingly. This is always the case if the instruments fulfil …
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 …
