Product catalog summary
Overview of Mechanical Pressure Switches
Mechanical pressure switches are devices used to monitor the pressure of liquid or gaseous media, activating an electrical circuit upon reaching a set threshold. They are categorized by sizes (hex 24, hex 27, and 30 A/F) and have specific hydraulic, pneumatic, and electric properties.
Technical Explanations
These switches operate using diaphragms or pistons, with normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) configurations. The switching point is adjustable via an adjustment screw, and they are designed for various utilization categories, specifying voltages and currents according to DIN EN 60947-5-1.
Specifications and Features
  • NC/NO, hex 24: Max voltage up to 42 V, switching points 0.1 – 150 bar, IP protection up to IP67.
  • Changeover contacts, hex 27: Adjustable hysteresis, max voltage up to 250 V, switching points 0.3 – 400 bar, IP protection up to IP65.
  • Ready-wired pressure switches: Customizable with various cable and connector variants, IP protection up to IP67.
  • PLUS pressure switches: Include intelligent functions like diagnostic and overload protection.
Materials and Compatibility
Sealing materials are chosen based on chemical resistance and temperature range, including NBR, EPDM, ECO, Silicone, and H-NBR, each with specific applications and limitations.
Hysteresis and Switching Point Tolerances
Hysteresis is the pressure difference between rising and falling switching points, influenced by the design of the pressure switch. Switching point tolerances can vary due to temperature, aging, and deployment conditions.
Applications and Standards
These switches are used in various applications, including those requiring compliance with ATEX and IECEx standards for explosive environments. They are suitable for different media, though not with saturated or superheated steam.

Technical explanations for mechanical pressure switches Hysteresis can be set at SUCO in range from approx. 10 % (at end of adjustment range) to 30 % or higher (at start of adjustment range), related to the respective switching point for hex 27 and 30 A/F pressure switches with adjustable hysteresis. Due to their design, pressure switches with an overpressure resistance of 100 bar have smaller hystereses than the series with 300 bar or 400 bar overpressure resistance. Piston pressure switches have a slightly larger hysteresis than diaphragm pressure switches. The specifications in the catalogue...

Conversion table for pressure units Water applications Standard piston switches are not suitable for water applications. Pressure switches in stainless steel with EPDM seal have a special sealing system and can therefore also be used for water with corrosion protection, water mixtures or emulsions. The use of other fl uid mixtures should be clarified with SUCO (e.g. swelling of EPDM sealing could happen by water - oil mixture). Pressure switches with stainless steel housings with EPDM-TW diaphragm, SUCO type „5" are designed for the use of drinking water. Gas applications Our pressure switches...
