Air Pilot Switches

An Air Pilot Switch is a pressure switch. These units produce a pneumatic signal up to 150 psi at any sensing pressure within their adjustment range. The signal valve may be piped normally open, normally closed*, 3-way or 2-way depending on model.

All models use a 2-position poppet-type air signal valve which is shifted from its normal position by a rod from the sensing end which first must overcome an adjustable force spring (styles A and C) or air-regulated dome loader (style B).
