What is a side-mounted float level switch and how does it work?
A side-mounted float level switch is a mechanical device that detects liquid level using a float connected to a lever and magnetic mechanism. When the liquid reaches a set point, the switch changes state to control or alarm the system.
Where are float level switches commonly used?
A float level switch for industrial liquid control is widely used in:
Can float level switches work under high pressure and temperature?
Yes, this high-pressure float level switch (up to 10 MPa) and high-temperature float switch (up to 350°C) is designed for harsh industrial environments.
Is the side-mounted float level switch explosion-proof?
Yes, it is available with Ex d IIC T4~T6 explosion-proof certification, making it suitable for hazardous chemical and petroleum environments.
Does a float level switch require calibration or maintenance?
No frequent calibration is required. This mechanical float level switch operates with a simple physical mechanism, making it highly reliable and low-maintenance.
What makes side-mounted float level switches reliable?
Their reliability comes from:
