A Pressure Switch that monitors the fluid pressure within the pump. The pressure switch consists of a housing, a diaphragm or piston mechanism, and electrical contacts. The housing is made of a durable material and is designed to withstand the harsh conditions within the transmission. The piston mechanism inside the pressure switch is responsible for sensing the fluid pressure. When the pressure reaches a certain threshold, the piston moves, causing the electrical contacts to open or close.
Attributes:
• Designed to deform under pressure, which in turn actuates the electrical contacts
• Monitors the line pressure, torque converter pressure, or clutch pressure
Applications:
A Pressure Switch is responsible for sensing the fluid pressure in the lubrication pump.
