Adjustable pressure switch for water pump

Description

How do pressure switches work?

An electro-mechanical pressure switch works by applying pressure to either a diaphragm, bellow or a piston to exert motion. The motion can create electrical contact in a microswitch launching an alarm or creating an action, for example switching off a compressor. An electronic pressure switch generally uses a piezo-electric crystal; when deformed a piezo crystal emits an electric current.

How do I select a pressure switch?

Choosing the right switch will depend on the pressure requirements of the air compressing unit you’re using, as well as the following considerations:

• Operating pressure range
• Switching pressure difference
• Repeatability
• Medium – for example air, hydraulic or ‘allfluid’
• Environment for operation – for example ATEX requirement, temperature etc
• Switching current – for example, gold contacts allow lower currents
• Outputs required
