Q & A
Pressure Switches Q & A
A WIKA pressure switch monitors system pressure and activates an electrical contact when a defined pressure point is reached. This signal can trigger alarms, start or stop equipment, or provide protective shutdowns in industrial systems.
Mechanical pressure switches use internal sensing elements and operate without external power, making them ideal for simple and rugged applications.
Electronic pressure switches use sensors and digital electronics, offering programmable switch points, adjustable hysteresis, delay functions, and often an integrated pressure display for advanced control and monitoring.
Key selection factors include:
- Pressure range and media compatibility
- Required switching accuracy and repeatability
- Electrical contact type and load rating
- Environmental conditions such as vibration, temperature, and moisture
- Safety requirements, including explosion protection if applicable Valin specialists can help match these requirements to the appropriate WIKA model.
Yes. WIKA offers explosion-protected mechanical pressure switches designed for use in hazardous and classified areas. These models meet applicable safety standards and are commonly used in oil & gas, chemical processing, and other high-risk environments.
