Clippard air actuated electrical switches enable the easy use of pressure to remotely pilot electrical switches.

The pressure actuator has a spring biased piston with a U-cup seal that requires pressure as low as 5 psig to actuate either a sub-miniature or miniature electrical switch. The pressure activated switch may be supplied in four different pressure ranges. To actuate the electric switch, the pressure must meet or exceed the actuation pressure. To deactuate the switch, the pressure must be at or lower than the deactuation pressure. See reverse side for specific values.

The electrical switch is available in both sub-miniature (SAS models) and miniature (MAS models) sizes, with a variety of current ratings and terminal styles. Choosing either the SAS or MAS model depends on the current requirement of the output device being operated, size limitations, and desired terminal configuration. (See the back of this bulletin for more information.) On the sub-miniature models only, the electrical switch is actuated by a lever arm which may be used as a manual override.

Mechanically-operated models are also available which may be used with any Clippard air pilot or push button actuator.

The pneumatically actuated models have a 5/8-32 external thread and the mechanically actuated models have a 15/32-32 external thread for mounting. All models are supplied with a switch, or can be specified without a switch for use with the customer's existing switch. (Actuation pressures may vary slightly depending upon the switch used.)
