Electro-hydraulic pressure switches are devices which close or open electrical contacts when set under pressure. The device are extensively used in applications which requires automatic triggering of an electrical switching command or signal to initiate further working cycles once a pre-set pressure is achieved and exceeded.
The device with several versions (with pressure setting on a dial, with main and secondary switch, screw-on pressure switches) are used in various applications. The device features a design related difference of 8 ... 20 % between the upper switching point and the lower switching point. The electronic pressure switch type DG 5 E enables selection of two independant switch points and setting of the hysteresis. Type DT represents an analogous pressure sensor.
