OPERATING PRINCIPLE

— PS* are piston type, hydro-electrical pressure switches.

The internal electrical contact is switched when the
operating pressure reaches the set value.
— The line pressure acts on piston (1) which is directly loaded
by a spring (2) on the opposite side. The spring load is
adjustable by means of the knob (3). When the line
pressure reaches the set valve, the piston (1) moves and
switches the micro-contact (4).
— The pressure switches are available in four pressure
ranges, from 35 up to 630 bar, and they can be subplate
mounting or 1/4” BSP threaded port type.
— Standard supply is with adjustment knob and with pressure
scale.

2 - HYDRAULIC FLUIDS
Use mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids HL or HM type, according to ISO 6743-4. For these fluids, use NBR seals (code N). For fluids HFDR type
(phosphate esters) use FPM seals (code V). For the use of other fluid types such as HFA, HFB, HFC, please consult our technical department.
Using fluids at temperatures higher than 80 °C causes a faster degradation of the fluid and of the seals characteristics. The fluid must be
preserved in its physical and chemical characteristics.

4 - INSTALLATION
The pressure switches can be installed in any position without
impairing its correct operation. Ensure that there is no air in the Surface finishing
hydraulic circuit.
The subplate mounting pressure switch PSP type is fixed by means
of screws on a flat surface with planarity and roughness values
equal to or better than those indicated in the relative symbols. If the
minimum values are not observed, the fluid can easily leak between
the valve and the mounting surface.

6 - SUBPLATES FOR STACK MOUNTING

The PSP pressure switches can be stack mounted by means of ISO 4401-03 (CETOP 03 subplates), code 1950611 and 1950621.
The subplate code 1950611 permits the connection between the pressure switch and A and/or B ports, depending on where the bolt (1) is
installed. The subplate code 1950621 permits the connection between the pressure switch and the P port.
