Piston Pressure Switches

Piston Pressure Switches

Piston pressure switches are robust mechanical devices that utilize a precision-engineered piston sensing element to detect and control pressure levels in industrial processes. Designed for demanding, high-pressure applications, these switches actuate electrical contacts when process pressure reaches a predetermined setpoint. Featuring exceptional vibration resistance, durability, and accuracy, piston switches are ideal for fluid systems involving hydraulic oils, lubricants, gases, or water.

Their rugged construction and minimal maintenance requirements make them valuable in environments with pressure pulsations and harsh operating conditions. Typically deployed in hydraulic power units, compressors, pumps, heavy machinery, and pipeline monitoring, they provide reliable protection and process optimization.

Certified piston pressure switches (ATEX, IECEx, CSA, FM) offer safe, dependable pressure control within hazardous areas, including chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, refineries, and offshore platforms, ensuring operational integrity, equipment safety, and compliance with stringent industry standards.
