The Basics of Float Switches

A float switch is a device that is used to detect the level of a liquid in a tank. Based on the water level, it will open or close an electrical circuit generally used to pump water in or out of the tank.<br>To know more, please visit: https://jigoindia.com/product/float-switch

  1. The Basics of Float Switches Here is where your presentation begins

  2. Introduction A float switch is a kind of contact liquid level detector that uses a float to regulate a switch. Float switches are generally used to control different devices such as alarms and pumps when a liquid level increases or falls to a specific point.

  3. Types Of Float Switches 01 02 There are two types of float switches: Stem-Mounted Float Switches Cable-Suspended Float Switches

  4. Stem-Mounted Float Switches Stem-mounted float switches constrain the movement of the float to up-and-down along a stem, and operate on a one-float-one-level basis. Stem-mounted float switches can be as simple as a single-point switch with a single float on one stem or they can be complex multi-point switches with as many as seven floats on a single stem. Single-point float switches can be found in both vertical and horizontal orientations.

  5. Cable-SuspendedFloat Switches Cable-suspended float switches, on the other hand, are as free as the cables they are attached to. If you don’t tether a cable-suspended float switch, it will go with the flow, as far as the cable allows! While cable-suspended float switches are all mechanically pretty equivalent (float and cable), they can be much more electrically diverse than stem-mounted float switches.

  6. How Stem-Mounted Float Switches Work Stem-mounted float switches use a magnet in a float that passes over the reed switch with the rising or falling action of the liquid, either opening or closing the switch. On horizontal stem-mounted float switches, the float rotates away from the reed switch on a hinged arm, rather than free-floating on a central stem.

  7. How Cable-Suspended Float Switches Work Cable-suspended float switches have both the magnet and the reed switch located in the float. As the float rises and falls with the liquid level, the magnet moves closer to or further away from the reed switch, causing it to open or close. In both cases, the changing liquid level is translated to an electrical on-off signal by the movement of the magnet.

  8. Conclusion Float switches are also helpful for reducing complicated automation. Here I have discussed about the Basics of Float Switches and their types. If you want to find out how to integrate float switches into your control system, do follow the link. How Do Float Switch Work
