General Information

• Pressure, Temperature, and Over Speed Switches

We manufacture a complete range of pressure, temperature, and over speed switches. Our safety devices have been designed, produced and tested to meet the need for rugged, vibration resistant devices that function dependably for full time protection of valuable equipment. Ability to withstand shock and vibration allows the units to be mounted directly on engines and equipment. The precision snap action switches used in all devices are built to meet industry standards for reliability, electrical and mechanical life cycle characteristics.

• Snap action Switches

Our products feature only the highest quality snap action, double break electrical switches. A snap action mechanism insures a positive, instantaneous, electrical contact under all operating conditions.

• Electrical Rating

All Switches are rated at a nominal 2 Amps 24 V dc inductive or 10 Amps 24 V dc resistive.Many factors affect current ratings and critical applications may require detailed analysis. Generally, higher than rated currents can be handled with a reduction in life expectancy. Very low currents, below tens of milliamps and/or voltages below 5 V, may require special switch mechanisms.

• Diaphragms

Our Pressure switches feature elastomeric diaphragms. Materials are carefully selected for media compatibility, lifetime durability and temperature performance. Nitrile is the material of choice for most applications. Other materials are available for specific applications.

• Life Expectancy

The mechanical and electrical life of our Switch is in excess of one million cycles. In actual application, operating life depends on many variables and specific tests are recommended if marginal conditions exist.
