Rod Type Level Switch
Precise Level Control in Industrial Tanks with ORFA: Rod Type Switches
In industrial facilities, accurately and reliably measuring and controlling liquid levels in tanks is critical for the smooth operation of many processes. Rod-type level switches are precise and durable level control devices that meet this need. At ORFA Industrial Products Industry and Trade Inc., we offer reliable and high-performance rod-type level switch solutions for liquid level control in industrial tanks.
What is a Rod Type Level Switch?
A rod-type level switch is a device mounted at the top of a tank that uses a float and magnetic reed switches built into the rod to sense the liquid level. The float moves linearly along the rod in response to changes in liquid level, and this movement triggers the reed switches, opening or closing an electrical circuit.
Rod Type Level Switch Working Principle:
Rod type level switch operates on the principles of liquid buoyancy and magnetic interaction.
- Float Movement: When the liquid level changes, the float moves up or down along the rod.
- Magnetic Triggering: The magnet inside the float magnetically affects the reed switches inside the rod.
- Contact Change: The movement of the magnet closer to or further away from the reed switches causes the electrical contacts to open or close.
- Signal Generation: This change in contact state results in the generation of an electrical signal.
- Device Control: This signal is used to control pumps, valves, alarms or other control devices.
Advantages of ORFA Rod Type Level Switch:
The rod type level switch we offer as ORFA Industrial Products Industry and Trade Inc. offers a number of important advantages for industrial applications:
- Precise Level Control: Accurately detects and controls liquid level.
- Double Contact Possibility: Both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts can be obtained.
- Long Service Life: It offers a long service life thanks to the durable stainless steel material.
- Sealing: Provides reliable sealing.
- Continuous Control Possibility: Allows continuous monitoring of the liquid level.
- Corrosion Resistance: Since the areas in contact with the fluid are made of stainless steel, they are resistant to corrosion.
