Arctic Rated Pressure Switches
A pressure switch consists of a diaphragm sensing element, adjustment spring, electrical contacts, terminals and an on/off switch. This electromechanical device is a passive component as it only requires the presence or absence of pressure to operate. Pressure on the diaphragm compresses the calibrated spring, and when the spring reaches or surpasses the set point, the contacts will move from open to close in a normally open (NO) switch or closed to open in a normally closed (NC) switch. Industrial process systems frequently utilize these switches in various applications, such as: Pumping systems, Compressed gas systems, Process equipment, & HVAC equipment.
