Oil pressure sensor for American Crane cranes

The oil pressure sensor, identified by part number 814172, functions as an electronic component within the engine lubrication system. It measures the pressure of the lubricating oil and transmits this data to the operator dashboard or engine control unit. By providing continuous pressure readings, the sensor enables the monitoring of the lubrication circuit, which is necessary for the movement of internal engine components.

This component is manufactured by Stewart-Warner as model -362-AH and is compatible with American Crane crane machinery. The sensor operates by converting mechanical oil pressure into an electrical signal. It is calibrated to provide readings throughout the operating pressure range of the engine.

Oil pressure sensors serve as the primary interface between the engine lubrication system and the operator. By detecting pressure drops, these sensors allow for the identification of potential lubrication issues before they affect engine operation. Maintaining an accurate sensor ensures that the engine management system receives correct data regarding the state of the oil supply, which is necessary for the monitoring of engine health during operation.
