Further product information

Float switches are used for simple limit value acquisition. The float floats on the liquid surface through the higher density of the liquid, and acutates a switching operation when the float deviates from the horizontal position.

In the mercury-free float switches of the QFS… series microswitches are used which are operated by a weight or with a ball, or reed contacts operated by a magnet. Mercury switches can be replaced by the appropriate Design  problem-free. Also switching hysteresis are possible.

The main field of application is for the acquisition of limit levels (overflow and dry-running protection). For min-max control of pumps float switch combinations with several float switches are suitable.

The float switches are fixed on a tube or with loading weights.Our float switches can be used both in water and in aggressive media. For this a suitable cable material has to be selected:

  • Thermoplastic rubber cable (TPK) is useable for water,  waste water and oily liquids, as well as slightly aggressive liquids.
  • For oil-containing media a PTFE nozzle should be provided.
  • Silicone (SIL) for washing liquor at high temperatures
  • Teflon (FEP) for aggressive liquids (acids/alkalies)
  • TPK cable with an ethylene-copolymer coating (AEM) for dilute acids and alkalies.
