Switches & Transducers

36878379 oil pressure switch is needed to monitor and regulate the oil pressure within the compressor, preventing potential damage to the machinery and ensuring continuous, reliable performance. It is strategically positioned within the air compressor's oil system. Its primary function is to detect the oil pressure within the compressor and, based on predetermined thresholds, activate or deactivate various components to maintain optimal operating conditions.

This switch is crucial because maintaining the correct oil pressure is essential for the compressor's longevity and performance. If the oil pressure falls below a safe level, it can lead to overheating, excessive wear on internal components, and even catastrophic failure. Conversely, excessively high oil pressure can also cause damage, highlighting the importance of precise regulation.
