XML Pressure Switch Telemecanique Sensors, what are the types and how do they work?
Did you know? To maintain optimal performance of water pumps, air compressors, to cooling systems, an electrical component is needed? The electrical component is called a Pressure Switch!
A pressure switch is basically a tool that is usually used to maintain working pressure that has been set at certain pressures. To prevent equipment from damage and maintain optimal performance, a pressure switch that has been proven to be of good quality is needed.
You can use a pressure switch from Telemecanique Sensors, which has proven its existence in the field of sensor devices for a long time.
There are three choices of Pressure Switch product series, namely Electronic Pressure Sensors for Control Circuits, Electromechanical Pressure Switches for Control Circuits, and Electromechanical Pressure Switches for Power Circuits.
In this article, we will discuss in detail about Electromechanical Pressure Switches for Circuit Control or commonly known as XML Pressure Switch Telemecanique Sensors. Let's take a look!
What is XML Pressure Switch Telemecanique Sensors?
XML Pressure Switch is included in the XM Pressure Sensors and Switches line, formerly known as the OsiSense line. Products in this line combine the latest pressure sensing technology with good adaptability to almost any configuration.
Electromechanical Pressure Switches for Circuit Control have a series of XML-coded products. All XML products are designed for use in control circuits and can be placed anywhere, both in easily accessible locations and in areas hidden from view.
This tool itself functions to control the time and life of the water pump, protect AC components from damage, regulate air pressure in the air compressor, and ensure that the system continues to operate within a safe pressure range.
XML Pressure Switch Telemecanique Sensors are the right solution to monitor system activity in industry and homes, easily. XML pressure switches for control circuits are used to control pressure in hydraulic oil, fresh water, sea water, air, steam, corrosive fluids, or viscous products, up to 7250 psi or equivalent to 500 bar.
There are 4 types of XML pressure switches that you can choose and use for specific needs, namely XMLA, XMLB, XMLC, and XMLD.
How do XML Pressure Switch Telemecanique Sensors Work?
XML Pressure Switch Telemecanique Sensors usually have a pressure detection component that will respond to changes in pressure in the system. When there is a change in pressure in the system, the detection component will move according to the change.
Then, the movement of the detection component will transmit force to another mechanism in the switch. Usually, this force will be forwarded to the spring that is calibrated. Later, this spring will provide resistance to the movement of the detection component, so that the pressure needed to trigger the switch can be adjusted according to the needs of a particular application.
Furthermore, when the pressure has reached the specified threshold, the movement of the detection component will be enough to change the position of the electrical contacts in the switch. Changes in the position of the electrical contacts that become open or closed, causing the electrical circuit to be activated or deactivated.
After the electrical contacts become active or deactivated, some pressure switch devices can automatically reset when the pressure returns to the normal range. However, there are also those that can perform a manual reset, such as in applications that require close supervision so that operators can check the system first before turning it back on. The choice of automatic and manual reset depends on the safety needs and also the operational efficiency of the system.
What are the Types of XML Pressure Switch Telemecanique Sensors?
XML Pressure Switch Telemecanique Sensors has several other types that you can use according to your needs. This tool has a pressure range of -1 to 500 bar, and then it has complied with international standards, such as CE, UL, CSA, CCC, and Gost. Then it has also obtained Marine Certifications and with ROHS directives.
XML products from Telemecanique Sensors have dry switch contacts with a thermal current of 10A, up to 8 million operations. Available with G1/4, ¼”-18NPTF or PT¼ liquid entries and available with PG13.5, M20x1.5, 1/2NPT, or 1/2”PF electrical entries.
