Ashcroft N Series Electronic Pressure Switches
The Ashcroft N Series electronic pressure switches are designed to excel in even the most demanding industrial environments. Utilizing the reliable Ashcroft K Series thin film transducer, these switches deliver exceptional performance and durability.
Key Features
- High-Quality Transducer: The pressure sensor is a standard Ashcroft K Series thin film transducer, ensuring accurate pressure readings.
- Durable Output: The signal from the transducer is processed on a conformal coated printed circuit board, which drives a high-quality electromechanical relay rated for 10,000,000 cycles at full load.
- Longevity: Designed to outlast mechanical switches, the N Series is ideal for high-cycle applications such as metal stamping presses and plastic injection molding machines.
- Adjustable Deadbands: Features narrow, adjustable deadbands that can be set to less than 0.5% of the range, making it suitable for various pipeline and elevated tank applications.
Indicating Model Benefits
The indicating model of the N Series is perfect for scenarios where both a pressure indicator and a switch output are required for alarm, shutdown, control, or interlock functions. In applications involving sludge and slurry, such as wastewater treatment and pulp and paper mills, the N Series can help reduce costs by eliminating the need for expensive diaphragm seals. This model allows for installation on a single seal, simplifying the setup.
Additionally, you can conveniently set the switch’s set and reset points on a test bench without needing pressure in the system, thanks to the integrated indicator and status lights.
Applications
The Ashcroft N Series is ideal for pressure alarm, shutdown, and control in a variety of applications, including:
- Machine tools
- Injection molding machines
- Presses
- Pumps
- Hydraulic systems
- Turbines and compressors
- Pipelines
- Various process applications
- All high-cycle applications
