Float type level switches
FLD series
- Displacement type float switch; float position can be set freely
-
As the float can be set to any position, the position can be changed locally. It can also measure highly viscous liquid as it strongly resists against adhesion to the probe.One switch can measure multiple points (a maximum of 6 points).
Reduces the use of packaging materials and their costs, since there is no need for a wooden crate or box to transport it.

Features, keys
- The float can be installed in any position, so it is convenient for sensing sticky materials
Unless materials that exceed the weight of the float are stuck to it, the float operation is not affected.
- Easy to set
As the float can be set to any position using a screwdriver, the position can be changed locally.
- Can measure foam and flow
If has a self-latching function and a balance weight is attached to the lower end of the wire. Therefore, the switch is almost unaffected by liquid conditions. - Wood free (reduces the use of packaging materials)
No need wooden crate needed, even with a length of 2m or longer, so it contributes to decreased packaging and processing costs.
Usages, use examples
- Detect levels of water, oil, and various liquid chemical agents
- Control liquid levels at multiple points
Ex.: Can be used with various applications, including controlling pumps, setting upper and lower limit alarms, and contributing to decreasing users’ total costs.
