NORGREN 0880360 Pressure Switch G1/4 Thread Pneumatic Pressure Detecting Switch for Automation System

Product Description:

The NORGREN 18D Series (Model 0880 / 0881) electro-mechanical pneumatic pressure switch is a highly reliable diaphragm-actuated pressure monitor designed for industrial automation applications. It is commonly used for pressure alarms, interlocks, and loop control systems. This series supports a working pressure range from vacuum up to 30 bar and offers multiple port options, including G1/4, 1/4 NPT, and flange mounting.

Users can choose between two electrical connection types: DIN EN 175301-803 Form-A and M12×1 IEC 947-5-2. The series also includes LABS-free variants and brass-body special versions suitable for water service. These options make the switches ideal for operating with neutral gases, liquids, and water-based media.

Featuring a gold-plated contact microswitch that is UL and CSA certified, the switch ensures intrinsically safe operation along with resistance to vibrations up to 15 g. Its mechanical service life can reach up to 10 million switching cycles, delivering outstanding repeatability. The standard housing is made of aluminium alloy, while models designed for water applications use brass housings. Seal options include NBR and FPM materials. Additionally, the maximum ingress protection rating is IP67, making the device robust enough for challenging factory environments.

When the system pressure hits the predefined set-point, the SPDT micro-switch activates an electrical signal. This output is used for machine interlocks, alarms, and on/off control in various pneumatic machinery, hydraulic circuits, and water treatment equipment.

Note: It is recommended that set-points be positioned near the center of the pressure range. Never exceed the rated pressure indicated on the nameplate. Inductive loads require spark-quenching protection circuits. Connectors must be purchased separately; DIN or M12 plugs are not included.

Features:

The NORGREN IMI 18D‑0880 series offers a comprehensive selection across various pressure ranges and port configurations. Engineered with precision, these diaphragm operated switches support an operating pressure from -1 to 30 bar (-14 to 435 psi), with a maximum over-pressure capacity of 80 bar.

Each unit is equipped with a gold-plated contact micro-switch, which holds UL and CSA certifications. This micro-switch ensures a robust mechanical life of up to 10 ⁷ switching cycles, guaranteeing long-lasting and reliable performance.

Designed to withstand demanding environments, the series provides high vibration resistance up to 15 g, along with intrinsically safe operation. The devices feature strong ingress protection rating IP65 for DIN connectors and IP67 for M12×1 connections, ensuring optimal durability against dust and water.

Compatible with neutral, non-flammable gases and liquids, these switches include a dedicated brass body variant specifically for water service. They support media with viscosities up to 1000 mm ² /s, expanding their application range significantly.

The 18D‑0880 range delivers an SPDT switch output with fixed hysteresis and allows for unrestricted mounting positions. Seal materials are selectable between NBR and FPM, with LABS-free versions also available to accommodate full vacuum-range coverage.

Electrical interfacing is flexible, offering two options: the DIN EN175301‑803 Form‑A and the M12×1 IEC947‑5‑2. This ensures seamless integration with various industrial systems.
