Float Switches with temperature protection switches briefly explained:
The float switch with a Bi-metal temperature protection switch, also known as a level and temperature switch, provides precise monitoring of both the liquid level and temperature in tanks, containers, and systems. In the world of industrial automation, they have become a proven technology. Whether it's preventing overflow, triggering warnings for low liquid levels, or controlling pumps, our float switches offer a reliable solution that also monitors the temperature simultaneously.
The float switch based on a reed contact uses a reed switch as the switching element. It consists of a float with a magnet that floats on the liquid. When the liquid level changes, the float moves and the magnet approaches the reed contact, which is made of two ferromagnetic blades placed in a glass capsule. These blades are separated by a small air gap. When the magnet reaches the reed contact, the blades attract each other and close the circuit, sending a signal, such as to trigger an alarm or control a motor.
The Bi-metal switch, made of two metal strips with different coefficients of thermal expansion, detects temperature changes through deformation when a certain threshold is reached. This deformation triggers a mechanical movement that opens or closes the electrical contact. When the switch is open, the circuit is interrupted to prevent overheating. When the switch is closed, current flows to activate, for example, a fan or heating element.
Industrial Automation Technology
In industrial automation technology, float switches play an essential role in monitoring liquids. Whether in cooling and air-conditioning systems, hydraulic systems, heating systems, or the food and beverage industry – our float switches allow for precise control and regulation of liquids to ensure smooth operation and prevent potential damage.
Oil Level Monitoring and Regulation
In the machinery and automotive industries, monitoring oil levels is crucial for the smooth operation of engines and transmissions. Our float switches enable precise oil level detection and can be used to trigger alerts for low oil levels or automatically control oil refilling. This ensures reliable lubrication and prevents potential machine damage.
