Model 7PSVac
Solon Model 7PS Vacuum
The Model Series 7PS Vacuum Switch is designed for most low vacuum applications. This device employs Solon's sensitive and rugged switching mechanism. Unlike most "inline" vacuum switch designs, the Solon mechanism is frictionless and amplifies the movement of a large area diaphragm. This results in improved life, repeatability, and lower deadbands. The rugged, cast aluminum housing can be specified 7PSW, watertight; or 7PSX, explosion proof. The
housing is large enough to accommodate up to four full size S.P.D.T. electric switches. These electric switches are available in a variety of configurations including adjustable switch differential (dead band), D.P.D.T., High-Low operation, and manual reset. In addition many switching configurations can be supplied with electric switches that have:
- Low switch differentials (dead band).
- High direct current ratings.
- Gold contacts.
- Hermetically sealed contacts.
The standard vacuum-sensing element uses a strong Buna N elastomer diaphragm. Other diaphragm and wetted area materials are available.
