  • The History of Float Switches
    A search of the patents for float level sensors and float switches will uncover a number of patents dated back to the late 1800's. One invention references a magnetic float used to induce movement of needles that will give an indication of the liquid level. Like everything else, float switches have
  • Application: Automobile Brake Float Level Sensor (.pdf)
    When applying one's foot to the brake pedal, it is taken for granted that the braking mechanism will begin to slow or stop the vehicle. A hermetically sealed reed switch plays a key reliability role by monitoring that the brake fluid level is maintained at its proper level. Low brake fluid level
  • SME Capabilities & Solutions - Why SME Fluid Level Sensors
    for more complex and "smarter" liquid level sensors that are capable of more than just an open or closed signal line. In some instances additional information can be signaled with simple magnetic reed switches by adding many reed switches to a PCB to give multiple liquid level point measurements
  • Turbulence Splash Shield
    Turbulence in tanks will cause false signals. A splash shield will dampen this wave action, thus averaging the liquid level. All liquid level controls can have a splash shield added to them. Standard float switches can have a splash shield added in the field without any special tools
  • Measurement and Control Basics, Fourth Edition
    characteristics and. potentiometric-type pressure sensors. Extensive coverage was added on. typical pressure transmitter applications. The discussion on level measurement. has been increased with the addition of several common level. instruments and switches such as displacers, tape floats
