Optical Level Switch
Paddle Type Level Switch is used for level detection for powder or bunk material in silo, hoppar, etc. The rotating paddle is continuously rotates by a motor. When this paddle contacts with the material, the force more than the rotating torque will be applied to the paddle and the rotation will stop.
Description
An Optical Level Switch is a compact, reliable device designed for accurate liquid level detection in various industrial applications. It operates on the principle of light refraction and reflection, making it highly effective in monitoring liquid levels in tanks, vessels, and pipelines.
How Does an Optical Level Switch Work?
The optical level switch uses an infrared LED and a phototransistor housed in a prism-shaped tip. When the sensor tip is in the air, the light from the LED is reflected within the prism back to the phototransistor. When the liquid covers the tip, the light refracts into the liquid, reducing the light reaching the phototransistor, triggering a change in the output signal.
Key Features :
- High Accuracy: Ensures precise liquid level detection with quick response time.
- Compact Design: Ideal for installation in tight spaces.
- No Moving Parts: Reduces wear and tear, offering long-term reliability.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for a wide range of liquids, including corrosive and hazardous fluids.
- Maintenance-Free: Minimal maintenance required due to the solid-state design.
Applications :
