Haydar Kartal | Know-howLike their mechanical counterparts, electronic pressure switches are primarily considered for simple control tasks. In addition to switching current and accuracy, there is another distinguishing feature between the two types of instrument: Electronic …
Mechanical pressure switches: What principle do they work on?
Melanie Höfling | Know-howMechanical pressure switches in compact design ensure safe pressure monitoring in, for example, pumps, compressors and mobile working machines. Regardless of the application, they function in accordance with the principle of the preloaded spring, with a diaphragm or a …
Switch points in vacuum ranges: How are they set?
Haydar Kartal | Know-howSetting the switch points of an electronic pressure switch for an application in the vacuum range is not a self-explanatory task. The following article therefore explains what needs to be taken into account with this setting. It involves a pressure switch with a …
Mechanical pressure switches: How does one set the switch point?
Melanie Höfling | Know-howMechanical pressure switches are usually supplied with a factory-set switch point. Nevertheless, some users want to make this configuration themselves, as, for example, the pressure conditions in the application can change. In the case of pressure switches with a …
