Custom kits available (phone us for details!)
A Temperature Sender is designed to measure the temperature of cooling water, oil temperature in the engine, gearbox or differential, air temperature or seawater temperature in marine applications.
The brass housing contains a resistive disc firmly pressed onto the bottom of the case by a silver-coated strong spring to avoid any air cap in between.
This spring also connects the resistive disk and the output terminal at the top. As the sender case is the negative terminal, the spring is insulated from the case by an insulating tube. A washer between the spring and resistive disk prevents damage to the disk—the resistance of the disk changes with temperature in a non-linear curve.
Some temperature senders also incorporate a switch for when a specific temperature is reached. The switch point is internally adjusted and can drive a warning light up to 5 watts.
Pressure senders measure oil pressure in connection with an electrical display unit. Some senders are grounded. Senders without grounding have a separate ground connection.
Pressure senders can also be equipped with a warning contact to signal the reaching of a pressure level limit.
We stock an extensive range of senders for your Automotive, Industrial and Commercial needs.
The VDO pressure switches are robust, compact and designed to operate in harsh environments at various pressures and in extended-duty applications. Because of its unique internal design, this switch can tolerate high-pressure spikes inherent in many pressure systems.
The switch is factory calibrated, but if an adjustment is needed in the field, the switch offers an adjustment screw to facilitate any fine-tuning required within the given set point range.
The standard polyimide diaphragm (Kapton) makes it compatible with many gases, oils, jet fuels and similar hydrocarbon media.
Standard screw-type electrical terminals are available. Also included with the switch are screw-to-blade converters. The overall ruggedness of the VDO pressure switch makes it a popular choice for many OEM and aftermarket applications
