Industrial Pressure Gauges
45APE Series - Mechanical Industrial Pressure Gauges
The 45APE Series gauge instrument is a mechanical gauge for pressure indication. It includes two adjustable SPDT switches.
Combination indicating gauge with independent low and high snap-acting switches
Field-adjustable and highly visible low and high pressure trip point indicators
Dual-sector geared movement allows for full-scale indication and set point control
Panel- and surface-mount versions available
Latching control relay versions available
The 45APE Series utilizes a bourdon tube sensing unit with a stainless steel dual-sector geared movement. Each of the sectors drives separate pointers when pressure is applied to the bourdon tube. The indicating pointer (visible pointer) shows actual pressure reading, including below and beyond the low and high trip points. The low and high trip points are adjustable independently on the gauge front lens. The switch operator pointer (behind the dial) is calibrated to follow the indicating pointer. The low and high trip point indicators arrest the switch operator pointer. As pressure decreases or increases through the principle of lost motion, the respective snap-switch is tripped.
The 45APE Series models are widely used in applications requiring pressure indication and Form C low and high pressure switches.
