Description

Overview of Vibrating Fork Level Switch

The Vibrating Fork Level Switch is an advanced, maintenance-free level sensor that uses a piezoelectric element to generate vibration. When the fork comes into contact with liquids or solids, the vibration frequency changes, and the electronic circuit converts this into an accurate ON/OFF switching signal. With no mechanical moving parts, it offers long service life, high reliability, and maintenance-free operation. It is ideal for turbulent, agitated, or bubbly liquids and is widely applied in petrochemical, food processing, light industry, and water treatment for high/low level alarms and control.


Features of Vibrating Fork Level Switch

  • Strong Adaptability – Detection unaffected by electrical properties, density, viscosity, turbulence, bubbles, or scaling. Performs reliably under high temperature and pressure.

  • No Calibration Required – Works accurately across various liquids without on-site calibration.

  • Maintenance-Free Design – Fully electronic detection with no moving parts ensures long service life and minimal operational costs.

  • High Sensitivity & Reliability – Precise ON/OFF switching signal triggered by changes in vibration frequency, even in challenging industrial environments.

  • Compact & Versatile – Simple installation for tanks, silos, pipelines, or vessels, suitable for both liquids and solids.

  • Flexible Output Options – Relay output up to AC250V/4A or DC60V/4A, and open collector NPN/PNP outputs up to 400 mA.

  • Wide Operating Range – Works in temperatures from -40°C to +150°C and pressures from -1 to +40 bar.


Applications of Vibrating Fork Level Switch

  • Petrochemical Industry – Reliable high/low level detection in storage tanks, reactors, and pipelines.

  • Food & Beverage Processing – Hygienic, maintenance-free level control in liquid and semi-solid materials.

  • Water & Wastewater Treatment – Accurate monitoring of water, sludge, and other treatment processes.

  • Light Industry & Manufacturing – Detection in chemical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical production.

  • Industrial Processes with Turbulence or Bubbles – Ideal where traditional float switches fail due to agitation, vibration, or frothing.
