November 21, 2014 - Gems Sensors & Controls announced Model PS61P OEM subminiature pressure switch, offering reliable medium-to-high pressure monitoring within space constrained applications. Model PS61P incorporates a hardened alloy steel piston actuator for expanded overpressure performance. The low mass unit occupies a 24 mm diameter hex footprint and measures less than two inches. The switch is designed to reliably monitor standard pressures from 510 to 4350 PSI (35 to 300 bar), with an enhanced burst pressure rating of 22,000 PSI (1517 bar). This makes the Model PS61P especially suitable for higher pressure, cyclic pressure and pressure spike environments.
The Model PS61P is highly configurable off-the-shelf, with choices of alternate seals, fittings, and electrical terminations to meet unique OEM, aftermarket, and retrofit requirements. As a standard catalog product, the Model PS61P is available for immediate online purchase. Test samples are available within just a few business days. Gems also routinely supports custom OEM volume designs to meet highly stringent parameters. These are typically available with shorter lead times than can be found with many other industry off-the-shelf solutions.
With its compact size and extended performance characteristics, the Gems Model PS61P is ideal for the hydraulic pressure monitoring of forklifts; scissor lifts; off-road and construction vehicles; and agricultural and off-highway equipment. It also ideal for hydraulic power pack and wind turbine generator nacelle monitoring applications.
