Presair is a leading manufacturer of adjustable vacuum switches. Our field adjustable vacuum switches allow our customers the flexibility of easily setting the switch parameters in the field as driven by the needs of the project. Vacuum switches are designed & manufactured to exacting standards to meet the needs of original equipment manufacturers & instrument makers for low cost, stable switches & good repeat accuracy.

These switches allow for simple electrical on/off control over pressures. As vacuum goes up, one contact opens as the other closes. This provides a perfect solution for monitoring, controlling, & notifying. All are field adjustable, but can be preset at the factory, if preferred. Dual switches are also available, factory set to operate two separate microswitches at different vacuum settings. These switches come in multiple body styles, providing the necessary versatility for air hose connections.

Presair manufactures vacuum switches with accuracy in mind. Our vacuum switches have a deadband of ±10%, & custom options can be built for a tighter or wider deadband.

Vacuum switches can be adjusted by rotating the hex screw located at the center of the vacuum switch.

Frequently Asked Questions

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.

How do I adjust my vacuum switch?

There is a small hex screw located at the bottom of the switch. Turn this screw clockwise or counter clockwise to adjust.

Click here for an illustration.

My application will expose the vacuum switch to hazardous chemicals and/or gases. How will this affect the switch’s performance?

We offer a variety of diaphragm material options to meet different application needs. 

Here’s a guide to the different options available.

My application will expose the plastic of the switch to a hazardous chemical and/or gas. How will this affect the switch?

We offer a protective switch cover for these environments. See how it works here!

My application has a small or large amount of current. What are the vacuum switch ratings?

We offer a variety of micro switch options to meet application requirements up to 25 Amps @ 240VAC. Learn more  here!

What do you mean by inches of water rising / falling?

Vacuum switches are measured by inches of water, or inches of mercury. Once the switch rises or falls the contacts will open and close based on the hysteresis, or deadband.

Read a more detailed explanation here.

What’s the difference between a pressure and vacuum switch?

Pressure switches push against the diaphragm & plunger inside the switch versus a vacuum switch pulls the diaphragm away from the plunger inside the switch. Another way to think of vacuum switches is a negative pressure switch. Here’s an illustration to help!

I’m currently using another manufacturer’s vacuum switch. Will yours work?

Very likely. Check out our cross reference guide here.
