G1/4 Thread 1 to 16bar Electromechanical Pressure Switch NORGREN 0880400 Pressure Signal Switch for Air Compressor Pipeline

Product Description:

The NORGREN 18D Series (Models 0880 / 0881) is a well-established diaphragm-actuated electro-mechanical pneumatic pressure switch designed for industrial automation applications. It is ideal for use in pressure alarm systems, interlocks, and loop control processes. This series supports a wide operational range, covering vacuum conditions up to a maximum working pressure of 30 bar. Multiple port configurations are available, including G1/4, 1/4 NPT, and flange mounting options to suit different installation requirements.

Users can choose between two electrical connection types: the DIN EN 175301-803 Form-A and the M12×1 IEC 947-5-2 connections. The series also offers LABS-free variants as well as brass-bodied models specifically designed for water service applications. These variants are suitable for handling neutral gases, liquids, and water-based media, providing versatile use across different industrial environments.

Equipped with a gold-plated microswitch contact certified by UL and CSA, the NORGREN 18D Series guarantees intrinsically safe operation and can withstand vibrations up to 15 g. Its mechanical service life extends up to 10 million switching cycles while maintaining exceptional repeatability. Standard housings are made from aluminium alloy, with brass options available for water-related models. Seal materials include NBR and FPM, ensuring robust sealing performance under various conditions. The maximum ingress protection rating is IP67, making the switch suitable for harsh factory environments.

When the system pressure reaches the predefined set-point, the SPDT microswitch activates to output an electrical signal. This signal can be utilized for machine interlocks, alarms, and on-off control of pneumatic machines, hydraulic circuits, and water treatment equipment, ensuring reliable and safe operation.

Note: It is recommended that set-points be selected within the middle range of the pressure scale. Users should never exceed the rated pressure indicated on the nameplate. For inductive loads, proper spark-quenching protection circuits are necessary. Please note that connectors are sold separately; DIN or M12 plugs are not included.
