What is a Level Switch?
A Level Switch is an industrial device used to detect and control the level of liquids or solids in tanks, vessels, or pipelines. It generally consists of a sensing element, switch mechanism, housing, and optional mounting accessories. The housing can be made of stainless steel or cast aluminum for durability and corrosion resistance. Level switches are widely used in chemical, food processing, water treatment, HVAC, and industrial automation industries.

Types of Level Switches
Side-mounted Float Level Switch – Detects liquid level at a fixed point, easy to install on tank sides.
Cable Float Level Switch – Suitable for vertical level detection, widely used in storage tanks.
Rod Float Level Switch – Compact design for narrow tank openings; used for point level detection.
RF Admittance Level Switch – Measures liquids and solids with high dielectric constants; ideal for sticky or viscous media.
Vibrating Fork Level Switch – Reliable for liquid detection; vibration frequency changes when covered by liquid.
Optical Level Switch – Uses light refraction for detection; suitable for clean liquids.
Rotary Paddle Level Switch – Detects bulk solids; paddle rotation stops when material is present.
