Product Detail
Function and configuration
Hydro-electric pressure switches type HED 8 are piston type pressure switches.
They basically consist of the housing (1), cartridge with spool (2), compression spring (3), adjustment element (4) and micro-switch (5).
If the pressure to be monitored is below the set value then the micro-switch (5) is actuated. The pressure fluid is applied to the piston (2) via orifice (7). The piston (2) supports itself on the spring seat (6) and acts against the infinitely adjustable force of the compression spring (3). The spring seat (6) transfers the movement of the piston (2) to the micro-switch (5). The micro-switch (5) is released when fluid setting pressure is reached.
The electrical circuit is either switched on or off according to the circuit design. The mechanical stop of the spring seat (6) protects the micro-switch (5), in the case of sudden pressure loss, from mechanical destruction and prevents the compression spring (3) from damaging if an over-pressure occurs.
Note:
To increase the service life,
the pressure relay should:
switch should be mounted vibration-proof
protected from hydraulic pressure shocks.
