Essentially, they serve the role of monitoring limit values in pressure and temperature measurements. When the predefined contact values are exceeded or fall below, a signal is sent, triggering an alarm or cutting off the switch on the process side. However, how do contact-type pressure gauges differ from pressure switches, and contact-type thermometers from temperature switches?

basic information
➡ Advantages of pressure gauges and thermometers with switch contacts They can be read directly on-site. The switch contacts can be easily set with an adjustment key fixed to the cable socket. Depending on the application, different switches are installed on the pressure and temperature gauges. - Magnetic snap-action contacts: Universally usable under almost all conditions - Inductive contacts: Suitable for use in explosion-proof zones 1 and 2 - Electronic contacts: Direct switching of smaller voltages and currents, particularly suitable for PLC applications - Reed contacts: Especially suitable for corrosive environments as the contact studs are insulated with glass. ➡ Advantages of mechanical pressure switches and temperature switches They are designed to be particularly robust and are suitable for use in Group II explosion-proof areas (Ex d). Mechanical pressure switches and temperature switches are equipped with micro-switches that are particularly suitable for high electrical loads. This allows for direct control of processes, such as turning pumps on or off. Additionally, it is possible to adjust the hysteresis of the micro contacts, enabling control of two switch points with one contact.
