Product details
Danfoss MBC 5100 Block-Type Pressure Switch | Marine & Industrial | 061B100866
Product Description: The 061B100866 is specifically designed for environments where space is limited and mechanical stress is constant. In the UAE, this model is a standard choice for monitoring high-pressure hydraulic systems, compressed air tanks, and water-delivering systems in ship engine rooms and industrial plants. With a regulation range of 5 to 40 bar, it handles significantly higher pressures than standard switches while maintaining high repeatability. Its “block” design ensures that the internal SPDT contact system remains unaffected by the heavy vibrations typical of large-scale machinery in Dubai’s industrial zones and Abu Dhabi’s offshore rigs.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Superior High-Pressure Range: Optimized for a 5.0 to 40.0 bar range, making it ideal for high-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic safety applications in the UAE.
- Full Marine Approvals: Certified by leading global authorities (DNV, LR, ABS, BV, GL, etc.), ensuring total compliance for international vessels in UAE waters.
- Extreme Vibration Stability: The compact block construction is purpose-built to withstand the intense mechanical shocks of marine propulsion and industrial pumping systems.
- Modular Block System: Designed for direct mounting or integration with Danfoss MBV test valves, allowing for efficient on-site maintenance and testing.
- IP65 Rated Protection: The enclosure is fully sealed against dust and saline humidity, providing long-term reliability in the UAE’s harsh coastal environments.

FAQs:
- Q: Is the 061B100866 suitable for high-pressure hydraulics in Abu Dhabi?
- A: Yes, its 40-bar range and 150-bar max working pressure make it perfect for hydraulic power units and control systems in the UAE industrial sector.
- Q: Why is the “flange” connection useful for UAE technicians?
- A: The flange allows the switch to be mounted directly onto a test valve, enabling technicians to verify the 40-bar setpoint without de-pressurizing the entire system.
- Q: Can this handle the high humidity in Dubai Maritime City?
- A: Absolutely. Its IP65 rating ensures it is protected against the heavy humidity and salt spray common in maritime environments.
