Pressure Switches

Tips & Advice to help you make your decision on Pressure Switches

Safety and structural integrity are dual concerns when it comes to creating a product that uses air or hydraulic pressure for operation. Regulation of this pressure is integral to keeping the system working efficiently. For most pressurized devices, internal pressure switches provide the needed regulation.

A pressure switch is a device that opens or closes an electrical circuit when a certain level of pressure is reached. The switch has two modes, on and off, and a pressure setting. Once the pressure reaches that setting, the device switches to the opposing mode. This switch then triggers a needed pressure change that restores the optimal pressure, and returns the switch to its original setting.

When you're manufacturing a product that uses a pressurized chamber of any kind, that product can experience a destabilizing change of pressure. Either over pressurization can cause possible damage through bursting, or under pressurization can cause a failure of the chamber to operate correctly. Either result means a ceasing of device's operations. With a pressure switch, you can set the device to detect the change before it causes either extreme, reversing the pressure back to normal without any outside evidence of the change.
