Pressure switch has wide operating temperature

A tried and tested series of pressure switches now includes a low temperature version for pneumatic operations in a wide operating temperature range of -40degC to +85degC.
Norgren, the motion and fluid control specialist, has extended is tried and tested series of 18D pressure switches with the introduction of a new low temperature version. Designated as the 18D LT the pressure switch is ideal for indoor and outdoor applications that require a wide operating temperature range of -40degC to +85degC. The new devices are suitable for pneumatic applications with operating pressures from -1 to 16 bar.

Suitable for neutral, gaseous and liquid fluids that are non combustible the units are ideal for mobile applications like trains, trams and other rail vehicles.

The devices are also suited for commercial vehicles and mobile construction machinery.

Various fluid connections are available (G, NPT, flange) and features micro switches approved by UL and CSA.
