Industrial 26A Air Compressor Pressure Switch

Description:

The Universal Air Compressor Pressure Switch is used in compressed air systems to automatically start the compressor at 140 PSI and stop operation at 175 PSI to maintain system pressure. Commonly installed in reciprocating air compressors, shop compressors, pneumatic systems, and industrial compressed air equipment requiring automatic pressure regulation. Maintenance technicians, compressor service providers, and equipment owners use this switch for compressor repairs, pressure control replacement, and system retrofits.

Applications:

The Universal Air Compressor Pressure Switch is commonly used in industrial air compressors, automotive repair facilities, manufacturing plants, woodworking shops, and pneumatic tool systems where automatic compressor cycling is required. The four-port 1/4-inch design allows connection of gauges, safety valves, pressure relief components, and unloader valves while the 26A rating supports direct motor switching on many single-phase compressor systems.
