Product Description
The Side Mounted Float Level Switch is designed for reliable liquid level monitoring and control in tanks, vessels, and process equipment. The device uses a stainless steel float that rises and falls with the liquid level, providing accurate switching signals for pumps, alarms, and automation systems.
With its compact side-mounted design, the switch can be easily installed on tanks where top mounting is not practical. The explosion-proof aluminum housing provides excellent protection in demanding industrial environments, making it suitable for chemical plants, water treatment facilities, pharmaceutical factories, and power generation systems.
The wetted components are manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, offering excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, oils, and most industrial liquids. The short-stroke float structure requires only a small buoyancy force to operate, allowing precise switching even at low liquid levels.
The switch can be used for high-level alarm, low-level alarm, overflow protection, dry-run protection, and automatic pump start-stop control. Its simple structure, stable operation, and long service life make it an economical and dependable liquid level control solution.
Working Principle
The float ball moves up and down with the liquid level.
When the liquid reaches the preset switching point, the float activates the internal magnetic mechanism.
The switch output changes state and sends a signal to the control system.
As the liquid level drops, the float returns to its original position and resets the switch.
This non-complex mechanical design provides stable performance and reliable long-term operation.
