Air Compressor Pressure Sensor Applications

Air Compressor Pressure Sensors are pressure-sensitive electrical sensing devices used to control the operation of an air compressor. The main function of the sensor is to start the Air Compressor when the pressure in its holding tank drops below a set low point and to stop it when the pressure reaches a set maximum. This allows the compressor to maintain a constant working charge in the system, an essential criteria for industries that are heavily reliant on compressed air. The Air Compressor pressure sensor is typically mounted on the compressor assembly or in another easily accessible location, with the Air Compressor control circuit wired through its internal contacts.

Description of air compressor pressure sensors

Typically, an Air Compressor pressure sensor is used to measure the pressure of fluids (gases or liquids). Pressure is an expression of the force required to stop a fluid from expanding, and is usually stated in terms of force per unit area. A pressure sensor generates an electrical signal relating to the pressure imposed. Such a signal is normally digital or analogue, although optical, visual and auditory signals are also common.
