VRC piezo resistive vacuum switch

Product catalog summary
Overview: The VRC electronic vacuum switch is designed for use as a security switch or for directly switching a pump or valve within the rough vacuum range. It features an additional recorder output for continuous process monitoring and is housed in an IP54 category enclosure for protection in harsh environments.
Typical Applications:
  • Control of vacuum appliances
  • Operational control of vacuum pumps and plants
  • Security switching
  • Additional pump switching
  • Pressure control in rough vacuum environments, such as vacuum furnaces or control and regulation boards
  • Process engineering
  • Plant construction
Benefits:
  • Chemically resistant ceramic sensor with FKM sealing, FFKM sealing available on request
  • Adjustable switch point over the entire range using a potentiometer
  • Dry relay switch point with switch-over relay
  • Connection to vacuum source via KF small flange or G1/4 female thread
  • High reliability and excellent reproducibility
  • Robust metal housing with IP54 protection class

VRC piezo resistive vacuum switch-1

Electronic Vacuum Switch Absolute Pressure 1200 to 5 mbar The VRC electronic vacuum switch can be used as a security switch or for directly switching a pump or valve in the rough vacuum range. An additional recorder output allows a continuous monitoring of the process. The IP54 category housing ensures protection in rough environmental conditions. Typical Applications • Control of vacuum appliances • Chemically resistant ceramic sensor with FKM sealing, FFKM sealing on request • Operational control of vacuum pumps and plants • Security switching • Dry relay switch point (switch-over relay) • Additional pump switching • High reliability • Pressure control in the rough vacuum range, e. g. for vacuum furnaces or control and regulation boards • Excellent reproducibility • Process engineering • Plant construction • After detaching the top the switch point is exactly adjustable over the whole range by means of a potentiometer • Connection to vacuum source by KF small flange or G1/4 female thread • Robust metal housing w
