Vacuum switches for decentralized vacuum systems

piab-Vacuum-switch-imageSpecially designed to facilitate vacuum sensing in decentralized ejector based systems, Piab’s miniaturized vacuum switches VS4015/VS4016 and VS4118/VS4128 are growing popular because of their small size, low weight, and simple installation.

“These pre-set vacuum switches offer plug and play installation, and have been developed to help manufacturers fully benefit from the advantages offered by decentralized vacuum systems based on for instance Piab’s compact air-driven vacuum ejectors – lower energy consumption, improved flow, better response times, simplified dimensioning and increased productivity,” says Josef Karbassi, Vice President of Piab’s Automation Division.

Available with either push-in or thread connections, the vacuum switches are versatile and easy to use in vacuum sensing applications. Also available is a T-adapter, enabling multiple vacuum switches to be connected in series with one common output. The durable, digital output vacuum switches are delivered pre-set, eliminating all risk of human error during installation or operation. They are offered in two different versions – the plastic VS4015/VS4016 and the metal VS4118/VS4128.

The metal vacuum switches are available with standard male-to-female M12 cable assemblies, a requirement within the auto industry. In addition, the metal version switches feature a compact design with a 90° angle swivel connection for easy installation.
