Honeywell adds three new series of pressure switches

Pressure switches are often installed into challenging applications with wide operating ranges and specific switching requirements. High burst pressure and up to 2 million lifecycle ratings allow the switch to operate and survive in demanding applications and ensure long life and reliable switching. These features can help to protect critical systems, reduce OEM warranty costs and end-user downtime. Pressure switches are also often exposed to harsh environmental conditions and washing applications which can result in damaging water ingress. Honeywell's pressure switches include IP67 sealing to improve durability and prevent water ingress from causing the switch to fail.

Wade Wessels, global product marketing manager, says: "Honeywell's platform design allows us to quickly adapt to our customers' needs. This results in customers receiving product samples within two weeks of ordering, and within 4 weeks for production units. Additionally, this expanded modular portfolio reduces total cost of ownership and helps to protect operators and critical equipment subsystems."

A comprehensive selection of ports, electrical terminations and compatibility with a variety of media allow for use in most customer applications, simplifying the design-in process, eliminating tooling costs and reducing manufacturing and labour costs. The pressure switches provide a wide temperature range of -40degC to 120degC [-40degF to 248degF], and accuracy of up to +/-2 per cent. The electromechanical gauge pressure on/off switches are available with either single pole single throw normally open or normally closed circuitry, or single pole double throw circuitry. They are available for use in a wide variety of applications in the industrial and transportation industries.
