 Working Principle:

DS21 is based on rugged and uncomplicated diaphragm movement. It is suitable for overpressure, partial vacuum and differential pressure measurements.

The forces of springs on each side of diaphragm is balanced in a state of equilibrium. The applied pressure or differential pressure will creates an unbalanced force at the diaphragm. This force moves the diaphragm system against the force of the springs for the measuring range until a new equilibrium is reached. When subjected to excessive pressure, the diaphragm rests on metal supporting plates.

A centre-mounted tappet transfers the motion of the diaphragm system to the motion work and to the actuating elements of the microswitches.
