Mechanical
Pressure Switch
Series: 901
BENEFITS
Engineered for demanding industrial environments, Beck pressure switches safeguard equipment and processes by reliably monitoring overpressure and vacuum across a wide range of media. Our versatile Series 901 covers everything from fine low‑pressure and vacuum control to high‑pressure cut‑out up to 12 bar; choose factory‑set versions for repeatable switching or the Prescal variants with a scaled adjustment knob for quick, tool‑free setpoint tuning—even for aggressive liquids and gases when configured with the right materials.
Application Details
Level monitoring: on/off switching via bubbler/back‑pressure in tanks.
Wastewater technology: pump cut‑in/cut‑out, overflow protection, head‑pressure control.
Pump & utility skids: minimum/maximum pressure permissives for dosing, transfer and CIP loops.
Process and OEM machinery: hydraulic/pneumatic circuit enable, lubrication and seal protection.
Medical technology: simple binary alarms in non‑aggressive media paths.
Why 901
Versatile media & ranges: from negative pressure up to 12 bar; suitable for liquids and gases with multiple diaphragm and connection options (PPS/metal).
Power‑independent, reliable switching: robust snap‑action mechanism for limit protection and interlocks.
Configurable:
- Factory‑set 901 for repeatable thresholds (incl. high‑pressure 901.41/901.51).
- 901 Prescal (adjustable) with scaled knob—tool‑free setpoint changes.
- EX and Gas variants for hazardous areas and city/natural/LPG overpressure monitoring.
