Information About 060-312166
The 060-312166 is part of the Danfoss KPS Series of heavy-duty pressure switches, developed for industrial environments requiring dependable pressure control and electrical switching. Its compact, corrosion-resistant construction incorporates a mechanical pressure-sensing mechanism and gold-plated changeover contacts for operation in compatible alarm, monitoring, and control circuits. The KPS45 model provides adjustable pressure settings and is designed for installations exposed to mechanical vibration, changing environmental conditions, and demanding operating requirements. With IP67 protection and multiple marine and industrial approvals, the switch supports installation in diesel plants, compressor systems, factories, power stations, and shipboard control equipment.
Key Features:
-
Adjustable Pressure Range: Provides pressure setting adjustment from 4 to 40 bar (58–580 psi).
-
Gold-Plated SPDT Contacts: Features a single-pole, double-throw contact arrangement for pressure-dependent electrical switching.
-
Heavy-Duty Construction: Designed for continuous operation in demanding industrial and marine environments.
-
IP67 Enclosure Protection: Provides dust-tight construction and protection against temporary water immersion under specified conditions.
-
Shock and Vibration Resistance: Supports stable mechanical switching in equipment exposed to operational vibration.
-
High Burst Pressure: Features a specified burst pressure rating of 240 bar (approximately 3,481 psi).
-
Wide Ambient Temperature Range: Operates in environments from -25°C to +70°C (-13°F to +158°F).
-
Temporary Temperature Resistance: Permits ambient temperatures up to +80°C (+176°F) for a maximum of 120 minutes.
-
Mechanical Pressure Actuation: Provides pressure-responsive switching without requiring an external power supply for the sensing mechanism.
-
Industrial Control Compatibility: Suitable for pressure alarms, compressor monitoring, equipment protection, and automated control circuits.
-
Marine Certifications: Includes approvals from recognized marine classification organizations for applicable installations.
-
Compact Installation Design: Combines an enclosed switching mechanism and industrial pressure connection in a space-efficient housing.
The 060-312166 delivers the reliability and precision required for industrial pressure supervision, compressor protection, marine machinery control, and automated pressure alarm systems.
