Lower cost pressure switch aimed at OEMs
Following the recent launch of the UDS7 Electronic Dual Pressure Switch, Barksdale Control Products is now launching an OEM version of the UDS7, called Switch 2000.
The housing cover is sealed with an O-ring to provide the protection class IP68.
The float, test button and screw plug are manufactured 1.4571 stainless steel and consequently corrosion-resistant, durable with superb shock and vibration capability.
The mounting position is primarily top or lateral on the tank.
The principle of the operation is, one permanent magnet forms part of a float assembly which rises and falls with changing liquid level.
A second permanent magnet is positioned within the switch so that the adjacent poles of the two magnets repel each other.
A change of liquid level which moves the float through it permissible travel will cause the float magnet to move and repel the switch magnet to give the snap action switch operation.
The level switch can be used for seawater, drinking water, fuel as well as various oils.
The unit can be modified into an EEx d version without the need to remove which simplifies procurement, installation and minimises stock holding.
The maximum proof pressure for floats is 42bar, the minimum density of the media can be 0.46g/cm3.
Various options and are available to offer a complete range for heavy duty level control. Request a free brochure from Barksdale Control Products ...
