RS PRO Adjustable Pressure Switch, NC Contact, 10 bar to 100 bar Range, 250V AC, 500mA, IP65, Steel Construction 363-5996

RS PRO 363-5996 is an adjustable pressure switch engineered for reliable detection and control of fluid pressure in demanding hydraulic and pneumatic systems. This industrial-grade pressure switch supports a pressure range from 10 bar to 100 bar and is constructed from robust steel, ensuring durability and longevity under harsh operating conditions.

The switch features a normally closed (NC) contact configuration and also supports normally open (NO) outputs, enabling flexible electrical signal generation upon reaching preset pressure thresholds. The setpoint pressure is precisely adjustable via a central screw on the switch head with clockwise rotation increasing pressure settings and anticlockwise decreasing them. Mechanical stops safeguard the spring and microswitch from damage due to over-pressurisation.

Designed for industrial versatility, the compact unit can be mounted in any orientation and utilizes a ¼ inch BSP parallel male thread (G standard) for secure pipeline connection. The electrical connection uses a DIN 43650 IP65 rated plug, protecting the device from dust and water ingress, making it suitable for environments with strict ingress protection requirements.

Operating temperature spans from -20°C to 80°C, accommodating a wide array of industrial settings. The switch supports a maximum electrical load of 0.5 A at 250 V AC and can handle switching frequencies up to 120 cycles/min, ensuring responsiveness and durability in continuous operation.

Typical applications include pumps, compressed air systems, machine tools, process control, hydraulic and pneumatic valves, and pressure monitoring systems. The device offers 3% accuracy of set pressure with a fixed hysteresis (10% membrane and 15% piston), enabling precise pressure control essential for manufacturing, fluid power, and automation industries.

Constructed of robust steel for high durability. Adjustable pressure range from 10 to 100 bar with mechanical protection stops. Supports NC and NO switch outputs with fixed hysteresis for reliable operation. DIN 43650 IP65 electrical connector ensures protection against dust and moisture.

Compact size allows versatile mounting orientations in industrial settings. Wide operating temperature range from -20°C to 80°C. Ideal for use in pneumatic and hydraulic systems and various industrial control equipment. Maximum load of 500mA at 250 volts AC supports standard industrial electrical requirements.

Manufactured in Italy ensuring quality and compliance with DIN and RoHS standards.
