PLATE "AIR PRESSURE"

390 075 88 PLATE ''AIR PRESSURE'' The primary job of this pressure sensor is to accurately measure the PLATE "AIR PRESSURE" within a specific pneumatic circuit. It constantly sends an electrical signal to the rig's control system, which uses this data to manage the compressor and other air-powered functions. Typically, you'll find it located in the main compressor circuit or in the line supplying flushing air to the drifter.

Correct PLATE "AIR PRESSURE" is essential for efficient drilling and the protection of your equipment. For instance, if the flushing PLATE "AIR PRESSURE" monitored by this sensor is too low, rock cuttings can clog the drill hole, which slows down penetration and increases wear on the bit. The sensor's feedback helps maintain optimal performance and prevents the pneumatic system from operating under stressful, potentially damaging conditions.

A failing sensor might cause erratic pressure readings on the display or trigger system fault codes. You may also notice a sudden drop in drilling performance. Before replacing it, ensure the pneumatic system is fully depressurized for safety. Check the electrical connector for a secure fit, and when installing the new sensor, be careful not to overtighten it and damage the threads or sealing surface.
