Electronic sensors and MICRO SWITCH switches in industrial air compressors

Honeywell  Sensing and Control electronic sensors and switches are designed to deliver system control, fluid level indication, temperature regulation, along with protection from overheating and starting/stopping the compressor.

2450RM Series bi-metal heat detection with manual reset sensor: In industrial air compressors, thermostats are used in the system control box as an over-temperature switch to help prevent the system from overheating.

Honeywell’s commercial and precision snap-action thermostats include automatic and manual reset options, phenolic or ceramic housings and a variety of mounting brackets and terminal options. Each thermostat’s design is configured from a base unit, and can be customized for temperature tolerance and mechanical configurations.

PX2 Series heavy duty pressure transducer: This line of highly configurable pressure transducers uses piezoresistive sensing technology with ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) signal conditioning in a stainless steel housing that is compatible with a variety of harsh media.

The PX2 Series is fully calibrated and compensated for transducer offset, sensitivity, temperature effects and non-linearity using an on-board ASIC. This provides a Total Error Band of ±2% over the operation temperature range of -40 ºC to 125 ºC [-40 °F to 257 °F]. The wide operating temperature range, up to IP69K protection, and CE compliance allow compatibility for reliable performance in tough environments.

These transducers measure absolute or sealed gage pressure. The absolute versions have an internal vacuum reference and an output value proportional to absolute pressure. The sealed gage versions have an internal pressure reference of one atmosphere at sea level.

MICRO SWITCH™ BZ, V7, V15, and ZM basic switches: Basic switches have several applications in industrial air compressors. They can be used as the float switch at the drain trap after the aftercooler (V7, V15, ZM, ZW) or used as pressure switches by the compressor relief valves and by each filter to measure back pressure (BZ, V7, V15, ZM).

Accepted as the world-wide standard “large basic” switch, MICRO SWITCH™ BZ Series switches are used for simple or precision on/off application needs.

With world-wide package size acceptance and designed to withstand 100K operations at full load, MICRO SWITCH™ V7 Series basic switches are used for simple or precision on/off, end of limit, presence/absence, and manual operator interface application needs.

MICRO SWITCH™ V15 Series snap-action basic switch is designed for applications requiring greater than or equal to 100 g of operating force and electrical ratings ranging from 16 A to 22 A.

MICRO SWITCH™ ZM Series subminiature basic switches are combine small size and light weight with ample electrical capacity, low cost, and long life, and are suitable for precision ON/OFF applications.
