Control of PressureControl of Pressure
In most cases, the pressure generated at the compressor In most cases, the pressure generated at the compressor and what is required by the system are different so and what is required by the system are different so pressure has to be controlled at two locations.pressure has to be controlled at two locations.

Pressure Control SwitchPressure Control Switch
Maximum pressure control in pneumatics is usually accomplished Maximum pressure control in pneumatics is usually accomplished by the use of an electrical switch although some large systems use by the use of an electrical switch although some large systems use mechanical devices. With the switch, contacts are opened or closed mechanical devices. With the switch, contacts are opened or closed to stop an electric motor.to stop an electric motor.
