Festo Pressure Switch, NC/NO Contact Configuration, IP62 Rating - PE-1000 Need a switching solution for use in your compressed-air system? Try this pressure switch from Festo. It's also known as a vacuum switch and lets you easily manage the flow of relative pressure or vacuum (from 0 to 1 bar) for system stability or to trigger actions like switch actuation. This makes it practical for pressure control and interlock functions critical to low-pressure industrial applications. It also helps ensure your safety and that of your pneumatic equipment. As the unit uses a pneumatic-electric transducer to measure differences in pressure, it takes pneumatic signals at its pilot port and uses them to pressurise a diaphragm that actuates the microswitch inside, switching your circuit. Features & Benefits • Two through-holes in housing for simple mounting
• Threaded M5 pneumatic connection ensures a stable link to your pressurised systems
• Suits an ambient temperature range of -10°C to +50°C, so is compatible with harsh environments
• PVC outer cable sheath insulates against electric shocks Applications • Food production
• Factory automation
• Hydraulic systems Does this pressure switch have ingress protection? Yes, this unit's IP62 rating means it's totally dustproof and protected against direct sprays of water up to 15 degrees from the vertical.
