Liquid Level Switches Description  

Rotary Level Switch Advantages for Industrial Bulk Material Control

Reliable Rotary Level Switch with Motor-Driven Detection Principle

This rotary level switch for bulk solids operates by:

  • A synchronous motor driving a rotating shaft and paddle
  • Material blocking the paddle, stopping rotation
  • Internal detection mechanism triggering a switch signal

When material drops, the spring mechanism resets automatically, ensuring continuous and reliable operation.


Adjustable Torque Rotary Level Switch for Different Material Densities

The rotary level switch with adjustable spring torque enables:

  • Detection of materials with density ≥ 0.5 g/cm³
  • Flexible adjustment for light powders or heavy solids
  • Stable and accurate switching across applications

Overload Protection Rotary Level Switch with Slip Clutch Design

This rotary level switch with overload protection features:

  • Automatic clutch slipping under excessive load
  • Protection of motor and internal components
  • Extended product lifespan in harsh conditions

Sealed Bearing Rotary Level Switch for Dust Protection

With innovative sealing design and bearing support, this dustproof rotary level switch:

  • Prevents dust ingress along the shaft
  • Ensures long-term stable operation
  • Suitable for heavy dust environments like cement and grain

Easy Maintenance Rotary Level Switch with Accessible Structure

This industrial rotary level switch allows:

  • Internal inspection without full removal
  • Quick maintenance and reduced downtime
  • Improved operational efficiency
