Kaustubha udyog has introduced low cost pressure switches, orion sm series. This series is now available with pressure ranging from 0.1 kg/cm² to 15 kg/cm². These pressure switches are reliable, compact and low cost. It has overall dimensions of 38 mm dia by 65 mm height. It weighs 180 gm. These pressures switches are usable to sense the presence or absence of pressure and to switch on/off electrical circuits when the predetermined pressure is reached. These switches can be offered in 1 spdt or 2 spdt micro switch versions. The switches are also usable for various working media by selecting appropriate wetted parts. The electrical switching element is an spdt snap action micro switch for reliable changeover. The micro switch is rated at 5a, 250 v ac. It finds applications in lubrication systems, to avoid excess pressure build-up in hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders, spot welding machines, for pneumatic clamping jigs and fixtures with predetermined pressure, textile machinery safety systems, paint systems to name just a few. Pressure switches are also manufactured with a variety of ranges from 15 mm wg to 600 bar.
