How a Hydraulic Torque Wrench Works
Hydraulic torque wrenches are used to secure screw connections with very high torques. These screw connections are used on wind turbines, in power plant construction, in the oil and gas industry, but also in steel and mechanical engineering, where large and heavy connections need to be securely connected. SUCO ESI have many years of experience […]

What is a pressure sensor used in medical application?
Safety plays a key role wherever systems in medical applications operate under pressure. Our mechanical and electronic pressure and vacuum switches as well as transmitters measure pressure accurately and reliably in medical systems. All products are 100 % tested before they leave our production facility. Using SUCO products ensures the reliability of your system. SUCO […]
Custom Designs for Subsea Pressure Transducer
The silicon material grows into the surface of the sapphire, resulting in incredible durability and stability with virtually no hysteresis and outstanding insulation properties, allowing the sensor to operate over a very wide temperature range. The excellent elasticity of the sapphire ensures high repeatability over a long service life. ESS, pressure testing & Hyperbaric […]
Which pressure sensor is compatible for hydrogen?
Compatible with Hydrogen based environments the range offers a general industrial, high pressure and high accuracy variant, as well as a digital transducer, available with a combination of ATEX and DNV-GL certification on selected models. Hydrogen offers a cleaner, secure and more affordable source of energy with the potential to drastically reduce and tackle CO2 […]
What are the industrial applications of pressure switches?
Water applications Standard piston switches are not suitable for water applications. Pressure switches in stainless steel with EPDM seal have a special sealing system and can therefore also be used for water with corrosion protection, water mixtures or emulsions. The use of other fluid mixtures should be clarified with SUCO ESI North America (e.g. swelling […]
What is Pressure Hysteresis?
Rising / falling switching point The pressure difference between the rising (upper) and falling (lower) switching points (refer to the figure, e.g. NO) is known as hysteresis (switch-back difference). Hysteresis has no constant value due to the structural layout of a mechanical pressure switch. In absolute values, the hysteresis is also the smallest with the […]
What is the classification of switches in power electronics?
It has proven useful in many applications to deploy our pressure switches with silver contact rivets ensuring that they are fail safe to 10 mA and 10 V. Variants with gold contacts are available in our catalogue for even lower currents and voltages. Potential-free – galvanically isolated Mechanical pressure switches from SUCO ESI are […]
What is a mechanical pressure switch?
A mechanical pressure switch is a device that monitors the pressure of liquid or gas and opens or closes an electrical circuit when a preset pressure threshold is reached. What types of pressure switches are available? SUCO ESI North America offers diaphragm and piston mechanical pressure switches for a wide range of pressure monitoring applications. […]
What is the difference between overpressure and burst pressure?
Overpressure and burst pressure are two terms commonly used in the context of pressure switches, vessels and systems, and they refer to different aspects of pressure management and safety. Here’s the difference between the two: Overpressure: Overpressure refers to the pressure level within a vessel or system that exceeds its designed operating pressure but does […]
