Oil pressure switch for Wirtgen 2200SM

The oil pressure switch, part number 9560, serves as a monitoring component within the engine lubrication circuit of Wirtgen heavy machinery. It detects the current oil pressure and transmits an electrical signal to the operator control system, allowing for real-time tracking of lubrication status. This component is specifically engineered for integration into the Wirtgen 2200SM surface miner, ensuring that the engine management system receives accurate data regarding the internal oil pressure during operation.

This sensor is designed for direct installation into the engine oil circuit of the Wirtgen 2200SM. By continuously measuring pressure levels, the switch acts as a safety mechanism that triggers alerts or warnings if pressure drops below the required operating parameters. This functionality allows operators to address potential lubrication issues before they impact the internal components of the engine.

In heavy machinery, oil pressure switches function by utilizing internal mechanisms to convert fluid pressure into an electrical signal. This signal is processed by the machine electronics to confirm that the lubrication system is maintaining the necessary pressure to protect moving engine parts such as bearings and the crankshaft. Proper operation of this switch is necessary for the monitoring of the engine health and the prevention of lubrication-related failures.
