The Allen-Bradley 836T-T351JX9X6 Electromechanical Pressure Switch is a highly precise instrument that uses copper alloy bellows that are connected through special tubing to a pressure probing point in the final user’s machine or application. This pressure probing is constantly feeding the pressure switch with instant, real-time pressure updates, and these updates can be used as the trigger signal to activate a set of 2 electrical SPDT (Single Pole, Double Throw) electrical contacts. Industrial control engineers are then enabled to use a specific pressure value as the application process setpoint and by adding additional devices to the control algorithm, such as an electrical relay to power electric motors or other types of actuators, they are able to maintain the pressure in the system within the range they desire. 

The Allen-Bradley 836T-T351JX9X6 Electromechanical Pressure Switch is suitable for panel mounting or for standalone support mounting. The T-style form factor of the switch and its sturdy and durable metallic casing, allow for direct mounting on pipes that are carrying different pressure mediums such as water, oil, and natural gas. The Allen-Bradley 836T-T351JX9X6 Electromechanical Pressure Switch keeps the measured pressure medium away from its electrical contacts by means of its copper alloy bellows which are flexible enough to provide accurate pressure sensing and also hard enough the resist small amounts of corrosive elements in the measured pressure medium. Outdoor applications are also suitable for the 836T-T351JX9X6 Electromechanical Pressure Switch, but the manufacturer recommendation for an extended lifespan for this switch is to install the device in a location where the ambient operating temperature range is from 0 to 60 degrees Celsius (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit) most of the time.
