Precision Monitoring Electronics

Built to Last

Our oil pressure sensors use advanced solid state diaphragms rather than outdated mechanical sliders. This modern engineering prevents signal drift over time, ensuring your control panel receives completely accurate voltage readings as the engine runs.

Sourcing high quality sensors guarantees that the electrical resistance and pressure curves match original equipment specifications, keeping your control panel information accurate and preventing oil leaking at the sensor base.

The Generator King offers complete system integration, stocking these certified tracking sensors alongside digital automatic transfer switches, electronic governors, and heavy duty starter motors.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the operational difference between an oil pressure sender and an oil pressure switch?

An oil pressure sender or transducer tracks conditions continuously, sending a variable electrical signal so the digital control screen can display live readings (such as 4.5 Bar). An oil pressure switch is a basic binary on-off mechanism that trips a grounding contact only when fluid drops past a fixed dangerous threshold, triggering an emergency stop.

Can a faulty pressure sensor cause a generator to start up and shut down after a few seconds?

Yes, this is a very frequent failure symptom. When the engine starts, the control panel bypasses safety trips for a few seconds to let fluid pressure build. If the sensor has failed and reports zero pressure after that delay, the controller will immediately execute an emergency shutdown to shield the engine from suspected damage.

Why do high-displacement SDEC and Baudouin platforms rely on separate backup pressure monitors?

These industrial G-drive engines protect mission-critical operations where unexpected downtime is unacceptable. Using a primary solid-state transducer for live digital readings alongside an independent mechanical safety switch provides dual-layer security, guaranteeing a shutdown even if one electrical line gets damaged.

What causes oil to leak out directly through the plastic electrical plug connector of the sensor?

This indicates that the internal sealing diaphragm has ruptured due to material fatigue or high hydraulic pressure spikes. Once breached, pressurized engine oil migrates through the sensor body housing and forces its way out along the electrical pins, necessitating a complete mechanical replacement to fix the leak and restore signal accuracy.
