Hi. Ive been looking through all the old posts about using compressors for flippers. It all seems quite straight forward, apart from this pressure switch business. I understand it all, its just I cant find a suitable one. Ive tried technobots and cant find one there. Can anyone reccomend one and where to get it from, or does anyone have one for sale?
Cheers
I beleive people got them from http://www.RSWWW.comwww.RSWWW.com
Have a look there mate.

Cheers Woody.
Stu, any ideas what one? Ive taken a look at a few but they either dont look suitable, or theyre way too expensive.
But if that one woody says is ok, Ill get that.
No idea which one, i know people were spending around £25 from RS for one. Get the one Woody suggested. Id take Woodys advice any time :)
Mr Stu
Theres more than one on the page so ......Id suggest this as your choice.
1 - 16 bar 106888 £14.37
It says max voltage is 250V AC. Does the fact that the robot is going to be run from a 12v battery make any difference?
Im not too sure how these things work, so I just want to know if itll do the job.
Cheers
It will work fine Rhys.
Mr Stu
Note the low amperage rating.
This isnt enough to reliably switch the inductive load of the compressor motor.
So it will be a good idea to add a higher amperage relay to the circuit.
Sorry to complicate things Rhys

Excellent. Thanks a lot.
Thats fine, not complicating things, Ive read that a relay will be needed. Just wasnt sure about what switch I needed.
