About Contact pressure gauges

Contact pressure gauges show the pressure mechanically and switch an electrical limit contact as soon as a preset value is reached. The 32 versions in this group share a G 1/2 male connection, case diameters of 100 to 160 mm and measuring ranges up to 600 bar. One instrument therefore replaces the pairing of a gauge and a separate pressure switch.

What matters when choosing

• Max. measuring range: 0 to 600 bar. Choose the full scale value so the switching point falls in a well resolved part of the scale rather than at its edge.
• Diameter: 100 to 160 mm. The larger case reads better from a distance, the smaller one saves room on the gauge board.
• Thread: G 1/2 male throughout. Where the measuring point differs, adapt it with a pressure gauge fitting.
• Medium temperature: from -20 °C up to 80 to 200 °C depending on version. With hot media the figure given for the individual article applies.
• Electrical data: rated voltage and switching capacity are listed per article and have to match the circuit connected, which matters most with inductive loads.

Typical applications

• Limit monitoring on compressors and pumps with a signal to the controller.
• Alarm on pressure loss in hydraulic power units and compressed air networks.
• Filter monitoring, where rising inlet pressure marks the point for a change.
• Pressure holding in vessels and accumulators, triggering a refill.
• Process installations that need local indication and a PLC signal from the same device.

All cases are made of CrNi steel 1.4301, with production in Poland and Germany. The limit contact works as a magnetic snap-action contact that opens the circuit when the first preset value is reached and closes it again at the second.
