Product details
Danfoss MBC 5100 Block-Type Pressure Switch | Marine & Industrial | 061B105266
Product Description: The 061B105266 is engineered to provide reliable performance in demanding environments like ship engine rooms and industrial processing plants. In the UAE, where equipment must handle high ambient temperatures and significant mechanical vibration, the MBC 5100 series is the industry benchmark. This specific model features a regulation range of -0.2 to 1 bar, making it ideal for monitoring suction pressure, vacuum systems, or very low-pressure cooling circuits in vessels at Dubai Maritime City or offshore Abu Dhabi. Its “block” design allows for direct, space-saving mounting on machinery, ensuring the switch remains calibrated despite the intense vibrations typical of large marine engines.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Sensitive Low-Pressure Range: Optimized for -0.2 to 1.0 bar, allowing for precise control of vacuum or low-pressure media.
- Global Marine Certifications: Fully approved by all major maritime authorities (DNV, LR, ABS, BV, etc.), meeting international safety standards for UAE-based vessels.
- Vibration Stability: The robust block construction is purpose-built to maintain accuracy in high-vibration environments, reducing false alarms and system trips.
- Modular Block Concept: Part of the Danfoss modular system, allowing for compact installation and easy pairing with MBV test valves for on-site calibration in the UAE.
- Corrosion-Resistant IP65 Housing: Sealed against dust, water, and saline air, making it highly durable for coastal Middle Eastern applications.

FAQs:
- Q: Can the 061B105266 be used for vacuum monitoring in Dubai?
- A: Yes, with its range starting at -0.2 bar, it is perfectly suited for low-vacuum monitoring in industrial and marine applications across the UAE.
- Q: Why is the “Block” design important for Abu Dhabi’s offshore platforms?
- A: Block switches are significantly more compact and resistant to the mechanical shocks and constant vibrations found on offshore drilling rigs.
- Q: How do I test this switch without stopping the system?
- A: By using the flanged connection to mount it on a Danfoss MBV 5000 test valve, UAE technicians can verify the switch’s setpoint while the system remains pressurized.
