Festo PE-1/8-1N 6217 pressure switch *new*

Pressure switch is a simple device which clicks when certain pressure has reached. When click has happened the switch actuates and changes it's state, and holds it until pressure drop anough. Not all pressure switches emit audible clicks, but the behavior is still the same. 

Applications:

• Pressure monitoring in pneumatic systems, for example to ensure that the pressure in a compressor, filter, or pipeline remains at the required level.
• Automation circuits where a specific pressure value needs to trigger an electrical signal or switching action for controlling a motor, valve, alarm, PLC logic, etc.
• Safety and monitoring systems where pressure alarms or the detection of pressure drop/overpressure is essential.
• Any application requiring pressure measurement and switching.
