How To Make Pressure Switches That Last

Feb. 12, 2016
Sponsored by Sigma-Netics
Simple design principles for harsh operating conditions Fluid control systems for many aerospace, industrial and heavy equipment applications require accurate, reliable pressure switching under harsh operating conditions. In these applications, the wrong pressure switch can cause catastrophic damage or even endanger human life. So what makes a good pressure switch for these failure- intolerant applications? First, the switch has to meet the basic application requirements related to pressure, accuracy, size, mounting requirements and communications. Second, and equally important, the switch has to be rugged.
