Float Switches

  1. Mini Side Mount Float Switches: Mini side mount float switches are compact devices designed to monitor liquid levels in tanks or reservoirs. These switches are installed at the side of the container, with the float moving up and down based on the fluid level. They are commonly used in small-scale applications where space is limited. These switches typically consist of a float that rises and falls with liquid levels, activating a switch mechanism as it reaches preset levels.

  2. Top Mount Float Switches: Top mount float switches are designed to be installed at the top of a container or tank. As the liquid level rises or falls, the float attached to the switch moves correspondingly. When the float reaches a certain level, it triggers the switch to either open or close a circuit, signaling the desired action such as activating a pump or shutting off a valve. Top mount float switches are versatile and can be used in various industries including wastewater management, agriculture, and industrial processing.

  3. Side Mounted Magnetic Float Switches: Side mounted magnetic float switches utilize magnetic principles to detect liquid levels within tanks or vessels. These switches are installed vertically along the side of the container, with a magnet housed inside the float. As the liquid level changes, the float moves up or down, causing the magnet to actuate a magnetic sensor located within the switch body. This sensor then triggers electrical signals indicating the liquid level status. Side mounted magnetic float switches are commonly used in applications where non-contact sensing and high reliability are required, such as in chemical processing plants and water treatment facilities.

  4. Cable Float Switches: Cable float switches are versatile devices used for liquid level sensing in various industrial and commercial applications. They consist of a float attached to a flexible cable, which is connected to a switch mechanism. As the liquid level changes, the float moves along the cable, activating the switch at preset levels. Cable float switches can be top-mounted, side-mounted, or suspended vertically depending on the specific requirements of the application. They are widely used in pump control systems, sewage treatment plants, and storage tanks for accurate level monitoring and control.
