Devices for system monitoring are important for the safe operation of a vacuum system. Schmalz offers measuring as well as control
components for this purpose.
Vacuum Generators We distinguish between the following components for system monitoring and control:

• Mechanical vacuum switches
• Vacuum and pressure sensor
• Electronic vacuum and pressure switches
Valve Technology • Measuring and control components

Components for system monitoring are used in all areas of automated handling applications, for example, in feeder systems in the

automotive industry, in the plastics industry, as well as in other applications in order to increase process safety.

Filters and Connections Vacuum switches are available in mechanical and electronic
types. In the mechanical versions, the existing vacuum is measu-
red by using a membrane and a microswitch (electromechanical
design), or a valve (pneumatic design) is activated. In the electro-
nic version, the vacuum is measured by a piezoresistive sensor
and a switching signal (analog or digital) is output. In the pneu-
Services matic version no electrical connections are required.
