Pressure Switch Factory Setting
Importance of understanding setting on rise versus setting on falling pressure
Overview of Pressure Switches:
Types of Pressure Switches:
Adjustable Pressure Switches
Gems Sensors is a leading manufacturer of both adjustable pressure switches and factory set pressure switches. Some typical applications would be as an air compressor pressure switch where the compressor could be set with the adjustable pressure switch
to complete the circuit (turn on the compressor) to increase the pressure and then turn off the air compressor pressure switch once the desired maximum pressure set with the adjustable pressure switch has been achieved.72 Similar settings with an adjustable
pressure switch can be achieved with a water pump pressure switch where the water pump pressure switch can be set to control the water pressure within a desired pressure range.
Vacuum Pressure Switches and Sensors
Vacuum switches are designed to open or close an electrical circuit when a predetermined set point is reached. Gems vacuum pressure switches are often used in demanding applications where extreme shock and vibration can occur. Typically they can be found
in HVAC/R, food and beverage, and medical industries.
Solid State Pressure Switches
Offering exceptional accuracy and stability, these solid-state switches employ sophisticated sputtered thin film sensors. They provide excellent repeatability in high shock and vibration environments, and are superior to mechanical switches in high frequency
cycling applications. An optional Communications Interface enables Set Point, Reset Point, and Time Delay programming in the field.
Pressure Switch Applications and Industries:
- Agricultural
- General Industry
- Medical
- Power Generation
- Specialty Vehicle/Off-Highway Vehicle
- Transportation
