Pneumatic Pressure Switches

Ensure accurate and consistent pressure control with Matara’s range of pneumatic pressure switches. Produced and delivered from our Gloucestershire-based manufacturing plant, these air preparation components are essential for improving the operations and safety of pneumatic systems.

What Do Pneumatic Pressure Switches Do?

A pneumatic pressure switch functions by monitoring air pressure via a pressure-sensing element. Applied to the piston or diaphragm of a pneumatic system, the switch senses pressure changes and outputs a reactive signal. An increase in pressure, for example, can trigger a switch to shut off a compressor, thereby preventing a spike or overload.

Pneumatic pressure switches can be calibrated to respond to selected limits. This allows the Matara range to be used in a wide range of systems across industries such as manufacturing, processing, and automation.

Why Are Pneumatic Pressure Switches Used?

An air pressure switch plays a crucial role within a pneumatic system, responsible for:

• Automating system adjustments by activating and deactivating components
• Preventing damage caused by pressure spikes
• Reducing inefficiency by preventing significant pressure drops

Pneumatic pressure switches are also widely used thanks to their durability and suitability for wet or remote locations.
