Switches & Transducers

040694 pressure switch, also referred to as a pressure control switch, is a critical component designed for use with air compressors. This device plays a vital role in monitoring and controlling the pressure levels within the compressor system, ensuring optimal performance and safety.

The primary function of 040694 pressure switch is to monitor the pressure levels within the air compressor. It continuously measures the pressure and compares it to pre-set values. If the pressure deviates from the desired range, the switch will activate to restore proper pressure levels.

The pressure switch automatically controls the compressor's operation based on the pressure readings. When the pressure drops below a certain threshold, the switch signals the compressor to start and build up pressure. Conversely, when the pressure reaches the upper limit, the switch triggers the compressor to stop or reduce its output, preventing overpressure.
