This piezoresistive pressure switch from Festo is a type of sensor that lets you measure relative pressure in your compressed-air system. Its measuring range of 0 to 10 bar makes it suitable for low-pressure to medium-pressure applications. An overload pressure tolerance of up to 15 bar means you can trust it can safely handle surges without failure. Polarity protection means there's a circuit inside that stops the device from being damaged if the polarity of your power supply is accidentally reversed. This unit's durable PA-reinforced housing resists the wear, abrasion and chemical damage you'd expect in demanding industrial settings.

• Rise time of 1ms means you get convenient, near-instantaneous readings
• IP40 means it's protected against solid objects over 1mm such as wires and nails
• Suitable for measuring media at temperatures between 0°C to +50°C, for versatile use
• Practical push-in connections make it easy to link to your pneumatic equipment
• Back pressure capability enables detection of objects as well as pressure, regulation and vacuum functions

• HVAC systems
• Gas cylinders
• Air pumps

This component offers a high accuracy rating of 3% of full scale measured, so you can trust it gives you precise readings.
