The new "all rounder" mechanical pressure switch
The new compact pressure switch Series 8000 has various applications resulting from its modular construction and flexibility: it suits large OEM requirements as well as bespoke customer applications
Compact and high performance pressure for OEMs
The new electronic pressure transmitter is compact and robust, and is ideal for applications where cost and performance are particularly important.
The flow measurement is converted using the latest onboard modern semiconductor technology and microprocessor to provide a visual indication on an easy to read 12mm LED display.
In addition to the display of the flow the UQS7 provides two programmable switch contacts, which may used to monitor low and high flow conditions, together with an analogue 4-20 mA output.
This analogue output may be transmitted for remote control and monitoring.
In line installation is quick and easy to G 3/4" or G 1" male connections, and all switch settings may be set using 3 menu keys.
With the permanent self-diagnostic system any errors are detected and displayed immediately by an alarm signal.
All measuring and switch functions are monitored in millisecond intervals providing fast response of flow changes; the switch settings may be electronically locked to prevent unauthorised adjustments.
The UQS7 is available in three standard flow ranges 10, 25 and 40 litres per minute with wetted parts in brass and Viton seals.
It is housed in a compact robust aluminium die cast enclosure with protection to IP65.
The major benefits the UQS7 provides are its compact size 110 x 110 x 94 mm, capable of withstanding 25 Bar pressure, low pressure drop (less than 250 mbar), fast response, a clear on-line display of flow, with two freely adjustable switch points, and an analogue output for remote monitoring and control.
It also conforms to DESINA requirements for the German Machine Tool Industry Typical applications would be the monitoring of water flow in cooling systems on equipment generating a great deal of heat.
For example laser welding and robotic welding machines used in the automotive industry, where it is important that any failure in the water flow system is immediately detected to prevent damage to this expensive equipment and processes. Request a free brochure from Barksdale Control Products ...
