Pressure switch for limiting axle load

The axle load limiter is an important control element in vehicles, especially commercial vehicles with air suspension or pneumatic systems. It monitors the pressure in specific system areas and ensures that the permissible axle load is not exceeded.

In vehicles with air suspension or pneumatic axle systems, the pressure in the air springs or pressure lines is continuously monitored. The pressure switch detects when a defined pressure value is reached or exceeded and sends a corresponding signal to the control unit or other system components. This allows protective functions to be activated or certain systems to be controlled.

The pressure switch uses an integrated sensor mechanism that detects the current pressure in the system and triggers an electrical switching contact when a certain limit is reached. This signal can be used, for example, to control valves, warning systems, or other safety-related functions.

The components consist of robust metal and plastic parts and are designed for use under pressure, temperature fluctuations, and vibrations during vehicle operation. Precise sensor and switching mechanisms ensure reliable measurements and safe system function.
