Pressure Switch or Pressure Sensor?
While a mechanical pressure switch is designed to activate or deactivate a circuit at a specific pressure point, a pressure sensor continuously measures pressure and outputs a signal for monitoring or control.
| Feature | Pressure Switch | Pressure Sensor |
| Function | Switching | Measurement |
| Output | On/Off | Analogue or Digital Signal |
| Power | Not Required | Required |
| Application | Safety Shutdown, Alarms, Control Triggers | Real-time monitoring, data logging, feedback loops |
If your application requires pressure measurement rather than switching, Boiswood also supplies a wide range of pressure sensor solutions. Our team can help you determine which technology best suits your system and provide tailored recommendations.

FAQs
What is a mechanical pressure switch?
A mechanical pressure switch is a device that activates or deactivates an electrical circuit based on a preset pressure threshold. It uses mechanical components such as springs and diaphragms to detect pressure changes.
How do I choose the right pressure switch?
Consider your system’s pressure range, media compatibility, environmental conditions and electrical requirements. Boiswood’s team can help you select the best option for your application.
Are mechanical pressure switches better than electronic ones?
Mechanical pressure switch products are ideal for simple, cost-effective applications where power independence and durability are key. Electronic switches offer more advanced features but may require more complex setup.
Can I adjust the set point on a mechanical pressure switch?
Yes, most models allow for manual adjustment of the pressure set point. Refer to the product datasheet or contact Boiswood for guidance.
