Pressure_Switches

Product catalog summary
Overview: GEMS offers a comprehensive range of pressure switches designed for various applications, from general to specialized uses. These switches are robust, reliable, and can handle pressures from 2 to 6000 PSI. They are available in both field-adjustable and factory-set configurations.
Design and Materials: The switches feature a unique piston/diaphragm design that combines high proof pressure with diaphragm sensitivity. Enclosures are made from materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, brass, reinforced plastic, and zinc-plated steel. Wetted parts include diaphragms made from materials like Buna-n, Teflon® coated Kapton®, stainless steel, PTFE, EPDM, or Viton®.
Options and Features: Various options include gold contacts for low DC current loads, oxygen cleaning, high amperage microswitches, ingress protection, and different termination types like Weatherpack and Deutsch connectors. Restrictor options are available for hydraulic systems to reduce pressure pulsations.
Product Range: The document details several series of pressure switches, including subminiature, miniature, vacuum, and solid-state switches. Each series has specific pressure ranges, proof pressures, and configurations (e.g., SPST, SPDT, DPST, DPDT).
Diaphragm Options: Different diaphragm materials are outlined, including plastic diaphragms like Teflon® coated Kapton® and elastomer diaphragms such as Nitrile, Viton®, EPDM, and Neoprene, each with specific temperature ranges and chemical compatibilities.
Specifications and Ordering: Detailed specifications for each series are provided, including operating temperature, switch ratings, repeatability, wetted parts, and electrical termination options. Ordering instructions include pressure range codes and fitting options.
Applications: These pressure switches are suitable for OEM applications, low-pressure pneumatic applications, and low-pressure hydraulic applications. They are designed for long life and reliability, with some models offering up to 1,000,000 cycle life.
Specifications: Pressure range varies by model, from 10 psi to 6000 psi. Switch types include SPST, SPDT, DPST, DPDT. Materials for diaphragms include Nitrile, Viton®, EPDM, Neoprene, and fittings in Zinc-Plated Steel, 316 Stainless Steel. Electrical termination options include DIN 43650A, spade terminals, flying leads, and conduit with flying leads. Proof pressure is up to 7500 psi, burst pressure up to 9000 psi. CE, UL approved units are available.
Ordering Information: Pressure range codes are defined in tables, specifying pressure range, repeatability, and deadband. Pressure fittings include various NPTM and BSPM options in Zinc-Plated Steel and Stainless Steel. Electrical termination options include spade terminals, flying leads, DIN connectors, and more. Options include diaphragm material, electrical ratings, ingress protection, and connectors. Set point specification allows for optional fixed set points in PSI or BAR, with actuation on rising or falling pressure.
Key Notes: Ingress protection is available only with specific electrical termination choices. Set points must be within the selected pressure range. Temperature can affect repeatability and set points. Deadband can be tailored to customer specifications.
Applications: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including hydraulic and pneumatic systems, with options for high-pressure surges and low-temperature environments.
Electrical Switch Ratings: Specifies electrical switch ratings for different configurations, including resistive and inductive loads at various voltages. For example, 25 Volts at 1 amp resistive and 0.5 amp inductive at 28 Volts. Specific configurations like -10A or -SP without -G have different amp ratings at 125/250 Volts.
Diaphragm Material and Temperature Limits: Outlines operating temperature limits for different diaphragm materials such as Nitrile, Viton®, EPDM, and Neoprene, with temperature ranges specified in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Pressure and Vacuum Switches: Detailed specifications for pressure and vacuum switches are provided, including pressure range codes, fittings, circuit types, and electrical terminations. Vacuum range codes with repeatability and deadband values are also included.
PS98 Solid-State Pressure Switch: Specifications for the PS98 solid-state pressure switch highlight its suitability for demanding applications with features like high resistance to shock and vibration, long cycle life, and factory-set switch points. Operating temperature, switch type, repeatability, fatigue life, and approvals are specified.

Pressure_Switches-1

. Sensors & Controls GEMS Pressure Switches Cover A Wide Range of Applications ► General, Vacuum, Differential, Specialty ► Field-Adjustable or Factory Set Switches ► High Proof Pressure GEMS offers a choice of pressure switches, from compact cylindrical models for OEM use, to larger, enclosed units for rugged process applications. These switches are ideal for the filtering process of coolants in the machine tool industry, use in transmissions of off-highway vehicles and as redundant systems with existing monitors Unique Piston/Diaphragm Design A piston/diaphragm design, incorporating the high proof pressure of piston technology allows these switches to operate with the sensitivity and accuracy of a diaphragm design. Repeatability ranges from 0.25 percent to 5 percent of the set point. Many Materials To Choose From Enclosures include aluminum, stainless steel, brass, reinforced plastic and zinc-plated steel. Wetted parts include a diaphragm available in Buna-n, Teflon® coated Kapton®, stainless steel, PTFE, EPDM or Viton® and a pressure port available in stainless steel, brass, zinc or aluminum. Pressure Switch Option Descriptions G: Gold contacts are usually associated with TTL input devices. They provide decreased contact resistance, which results in more reliable microswitch rated 10 Amperes differential, which results in a larger deadband than listed in the standard catalog pages. IP: Ingress Protection is provided by either an epoxy sealed cap (IP65) or silicon wire seals (IP66). On some models, this option is only available with RB: Rubber Boot is designed to or cable size by the customer and sealed with an appropriate termination consists DE: Deutsch male termination FS: Gems will preset switches within repeatability limits listed on the specific product catalog page. systems that need a small pressure switch life. It is a pressed in part that has an SR: The spiral restrictor option heavily dampens pressure system, which prevents false signaling and premature wear. pressure settings below 1500 slows the response time of the pressure switch.

Selection Guide Plastic Diaphragms Option K or Standard Teflon® Coated Kapton® (Polyimide) Teflon® is compatible with almost every liquid and gaseous media. Kapton® has very stable physical properties over a wide pressure switches that exhibit very little set point shift due to temperature extremes. Kapton® possesses exceptional fatigue strength but is very stiff which results in wider but more stable deadbands than most Elastomer Diaphragms Elastomers offer incredible sensitivity coupled with extremely long life. This results in stable set points over the life of the pressure switch as well...
