Mechanical Pressure Switches

Mechanical pressure switches operate by directly converting pressure into a mechanical switching action, without the need for external power supply. When the preset pressure threshold is reached, an internal mechanical mechanism actuates electrical contacts to open or close a circuit.

These switches are valued for their robust construction, high reliability, and resistance to harsh environments, including vibration, temperature fluctuations, and pressure spikes. Mechanical pressure switches are commonly used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems, compressors, pumps, and safety interlock circuits, where simple, dependable pressure monitoring is required.
