The WIKA high-quality BA/BAX bourdon tube pressure switch is developed for safety-critical applications. The high quality of the WIKA BA/BAX bourdon tube pressure switch is following ISO 9001, which ensures reliable monitoring of your plant. In production, the switches are traced by quality assurance software at every step and subsequently are 100 % tested. All wetted materials are from stainless steel as a standard. By using a bourdon tube measuring system, the WIKA BAX and BA pressure switch is extremely robust and guarantees optimal operating characteristics. To ensure as flexible operation as possible, the pressure switches are fitted with micro switches, which enable the switching of an electrical load of up to AC 250 V, 20 A directly. For lower switching power ratings, such as for PLC applications, argon gas-filled micro switches with gold-plated contacts can be selected as an option. For applications with special requirements on the wetted parts, versions with materials from PTFE, Monel or Hastelloy are available. By using a diaphragm measuring system, the WIKA BA/BAX bourdon tube pressure switch is extremely robust and guarantees optimal operating characteristics. For setting ranges from 4 … 40 bar a piston replaces or completes the diaphragm as a measuring element. The wetted parts of this variant from stainless steel are particularly suited for liquid media.

The SIKA VH0 flow switches are used for monitoring volume flows. Depending on conditions, the SIKA VH0 flow switch is available for various nominal widths and set-point ranges. The SIKA VH0 flow switch contains a paddle system to whose end a permanent magnet is attached. Above this magnet is a reed contact, located outside the flow of fluid. A second magnet creates the force necessary to reset the switch back to the no-flow position. When the flow being monitored pushes against the paddle system, the paddle swings away. This changes the position of the magnet in relation to the reed contact and thus activates the connection. As soon as the flow is interrupted, the paddle moves back to its starting position, thus activating the reed contact once again. The force necessary to push the magnet back is provided by the two magnets repelling each other. Using magnetic force instead of the usual leaf spring means that the switch is considerably more stable in the long term and much less sensitive to pressure peaks. Microswitch A microswitch used as a switching element allows a higher electrical switching capacity than a reed switch. The resetting force required by the paddle system is produced by a leaf spring.
