Product overview

Sigma external cage level switches are widely used across the petroleum and power industries. An anti vibration design ensures positive switch action, and the cage mounted construction adapts to a wide range of other applications.

How it works

As the float rises with the liquid, it lifts a magnetic sleeve inside a non magnetic enclosure tube into the field of a pivoted permanent magnet. The magnet is attracted, swings across its pivot and actuates the micro switch. When the level falls, the float draws the sleeve back out of the field, the magnet swings away and the switch returns to its original position, giving the low level signal.

The enclosure tube forms a static seal between the switch mechanism and the float, so there are no flexing bellows, packing glands or other failure prone seals.
