Pressure switches resist rough treatment
The PSD electronic pressure switches feature an extremely durable housing, with a 316 stainless steel process connection and a gas-tight measuring cell to reliably detect gas and liquid pressure.
AutomationDirect has released ProSense pressure switches and transmitters The pressure switches are designed to monitor system pressure in hydraulic and pneumatic applications, while the vacuum sensors provide an accurate readout of increases and decreases in vacuum systems

Industrial monitors offer a wide field of view
FPM series 17 and 18in heavy industrial monitors are available in resistive touchscreen or non-touchscreen versions.
ProSense sensors are smaller and easier to install than traditional mechanical pressure switches.
With no moving parts, such as pistons or springs that can stick or break, ProSense pressure and vacuum sensors are a worry-free, solid-state solution to mechanical switches.
ProSense offers pressure sensing solutions using capacitive sensing technology and strain gauge technology.
The compact PTD series pressure and vacuum transmitters, in robust stainless steel housings, detect system pressure and convert it into an analogue output signal for reliable pressure indication.
Designed for quick installation and easy setup, pressure transmitter s operate from 4 to 20mA and 0 to 10V and are available in sensing ranges up to 7bar.
The sensors' ceramic sensing element provides high burst/overpressure protection.
A flexible film circuit results in excellent shock and vibration resistance.
The PSD series electronic pressure switches feature an extremely durable housing, with a 316 stainless steel process connection and a gas-tight measuring cell to reliably detect gas and liquid pressure.
The switch withstands aggressive media and detects pressure ranges up to 400bar.
Mechanical adjustment dials rotate quickly to establish the setpoint and reset point.
The sensor is adjustable without system pressure and supply voltage and does not require calibration.
The sensor's high accuracy and long-term stability (over 50 million switching cycles) ensure the setpoint does not drift.
Vibration and shock-resistant, PSD series electronic pressure switches are equipped with LEDs which indicate switching and operating status and provide a dual switching DC output.
All ProSense pressure sensors are cULus and CE-approved and use quick-disconnect cables, sold separately.
