CCS

Custom Control Sensors (CCS) is a U.S. manufacturer specializing in industrial pressure, temperature and flow sensing products engineered for rugged and critical environments. With a heritage dating back to the late 1950s, CCS is known for its robust Dual-Snap® pressure and differential pressure switches, temperature switches, flow switches and sensing devices designed to provide reliable actuation and monitoring in demanding industrial, aerospace, defense and energy applications. CCS products feature sturdy construction with stainless steel wetted parts, high vibration and shock resistance and explosion-proof electrical assemblies certified for hazardous locations. Their switches and sensors are widely applied in oil & gas systems, power generation, fluid management, chemical processing, utilities and safety systems where accurate detection and repeatable switching are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary advantage of CCS Dual-Snap® Belleville disc spring technology?
The proprietary Dual-Snap® technology utilizes a Belleville disc spring that completely eliminates tracing, drifting, and premature wear associated with traditional bourdon tube or bellows pressure switches. This provides a clean, instantaneous electrical contact operation that makes the switch exceptionally resistant to vibration and shock.
Are CCS pressure switches suitable for highly corrosive offshore environments?
Yes, CCS pressure switches are constructed utilizing robust materials such as 316 stainless steel, Monel, and Hastelloy, accompanied by NEMA 4X and IP67 sealed enclosures. This rigorous construction ensures long-term reliability and resistance to the severe saline and corrosive conditions typical of offshore platforms.
Can CCS temperature switches be deployed in SIL-rated safety instrumented systems?
CCS manufactures specific models of pressure and temperature switches that are independently certified for use in Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 and SIL 3 applications. Their inherent reliability and predictable failure modes make them ideal components for critical process shutdown systems.
How do CCS differential pressure switches manage high static operating pressures?
CCS differential pressure switches feature specialized dual-diaphragm designs that allow them to accurately detect minute pressure differentials even while subjected to extremely high system static pressures. This is particularly vital in filtration monitoring and pump protection applications within heavy industry.
What are the mounting considerations for CCS airborne pressure switches?
CCS airborne switches are engineered for extreme miniaturization and ruggedness to withstand high-G forces and rapid temperature fluctuations. While highly resilient, engineers must ensure they are mounted using approved brackets to prevent resonance amplification from the airframe or engine vibration profiles.
