Mechanical Level Switches
Mechanical level switches are those which monitor and adjust levels of material
within a vessel. These switches use a variety of technology to accomplish their
task. Switches may rely on optical sensors, microwaves, pneumatics, temperature
sensors, ultrasonic pulse waves, and vibration sensors.
Because of the various types of sensors used in mechanical level switches,
they can be utilized in a variety of industrial applications. Mechanical level
switches can be used to sound alarms, to control pumps and valves, to sense
temperatures, and to protect bilges. Once changes in the level or temperature
of the substance are detected, the switch is activated and will perform a specified
task.
Depending on construction, mechanical level switches can be designed to withstand
great amounts of pressure, high temperatures, as well as chemical environments.
