Units can be built to your specified pressure, temperature, range and material.
Product overview
Sigma pneumatic level switches are used where electrical switching is not recommended or no electricity is available. They work on the same principle as Sigma electrical switches, except that the magnet actuates a 3/2 valve for changeover. The system needs clean, filtered air at a minimum of 2 kg/cm², preferably through an air filter regulator.
The buoyancy of the liquid moves the float with the surface. The float movement pivots a magnet into the field of a like charged switch magnet, and as the two repel each other the switch magnet moves and actuates the valve.
A float, or a spring loaded weighted displacer, rises with the level and lifts a magnetic sleeve inside a non magnetic enclosure tube. The sleeve attracts a pivoted magnet that actuates the switch mechanism outside the tube, and a falling level releases it again.
