Summary

Float Level Switch detects liquid level by the buoyant movement of a float. As the liquid level rises or falls, the float moves accordingly and mechanically actuates an internal switch at a preset point to provide a ON/OFF level signal. The simple mechanical principle ensures stable operation independent of liquid electrical properties and suitable for a wide range of applications.

Benefits

Detection independent of liquid properties

Mechanical detection based on buoyancy ensures stable switching unaffected by liquid conductivity, dielectric constant or composition.

Simple and robust design

Fewer components and a purely mechanical operating principle reduce failure risk and provide high durability in industrial applications.

Cost effective

Enables cost-effective multi-point level detection with one unit by using multiple floats, besides, no power supply required because of the principle.

Features

Durable Reed Switch

Float Level Switch Features

Internal switching mechanism is the reed switch operation which is hardly affected by temperature, moisture, gas, etc. and ensures stable detection.

No Power Required

Float Level Switch Features

No power supply required because of the mechanical operating principle.

Furthermore, the durable reed switch operation provides high reliability and long service life.

Ex-proof Available

Float Level Switch Features

Flame-proof (d2G4) model is available.

Ideal for automatic control of fuel dispensing tanks.

Operating Principle

Float Level Switch operates on the principle of buoyancy to detect liquid level.

The float moves vertically in response to changes in liquid level and transmits this motion to an internal switching mechanism.

When the liquid reaches a preset level, the float actuates a magnetically coupled reed switch, causing the electrical contacts to change state (ON/OFF).

As the level falls, the float returns, resetting the switch.
