Penny + Giles has added to its range the JC6000 robust multi-axis joysticks designed for demanding operator control applications.
Based on piezoresistive sensor technology, Switch 2000 offers greater precision than traditional mechanical pressure switches.
It has afull-scale accuracy of +/-0.5% and repeatability of +/-0.1%, no switch point drift and is designed to operate over measurement ranges from 0-10 to 0-600bar.
In addition, the new device offers two switch outputs, peak pressure value memory and can operate in temperatures ranging from -25 to +100C.
With a compact IP65-rated aluminium diecast housing and stainless-steel wetted parts, the new pressure switch offers long term stability and is resistant to both shock and vibration.
In particular, each new Switch 2000 device is subjected to significant shock and vibration testing and are proven to withstand up to 10g for vibration and up to 50g for shock.
The new Switch 2000 pressure switch also incorporates a range of safety features.
They are self monitoring and are designed for permanent monitoring of varying parameters configured via an easy to programme tamper proof keypad, which can be locked to prevent unauthorised access.
Visual display, including error indication, is provided by a three-digit seven-segment LED alphanumeric display, which also offers both bar and psi readings.
David Thomas, UK and Ireland Sales Manager at Barksdale Control Products explains, "We expect that the new Switch 2000 pressure switch is going to be as popular as the recently launched UDS7.
In particular, the new pressure switch is ideal for high volume OEM applications, due to low unit cost combined with high performance and accuracy.
We have been able to achieve economical pricing by reducing assembly times and carrying out final calibration in batches of ten". Request a free brochure from Barksdale Control Products ...
