SS Internal Side Mount Magnetic Float Level Switch

A. Product Overview

The RDCL-HFS-C-SS Internal Side Mount SS Magnetic Float Level Switch is a compact and reliable liquid level switch designed for side installation inside tanks and vessels. It is commonly used where accurate level switching is required but the tank size or tank height does not allow a standard top mounted level switch.

This internal side mount level switch is manufactured in SS304 or SS316, making it suitable for water, hot water, mild chemicals and industrial process liquids. The switch is supplied with a 1/4 inch BSP inverted male plug connection, and custom connection options such as M16, 1 inch BSP and TC fitting can also be provided as per requirement.

The standard total length is 100 mm, with a 17 mm by 55 mm float size, and both are customizable. It works within a temperature range of minus 40 degree C to 135 degree C and can operate at pressure up to 3 Bar.

B. Working Principle

The internal side mount SS magnetic float level switch works on a simple magnetic float operation principle.

As the liquid level rises or falls inside the tank, the float moves with the liquid level. A magnet inside the float activates the internal switching mechanism without direct physical contact between the liquid and electrical parts. This provides reliable level switching with good hysteresis and stable operation.

The switch can be configured as SPST normally open or SPDT normally open and normally closed depending on the application. When the liquid reaches the set level, the switch changes contact position and sends a signal to a pump, alarm, controller, PLC or automation panel.

C. Why It Is Used

This internal side mount level switch is used to detect liquid level at a fixed point inside a tank or vessel. It helps automate level control and prevents manual monitoring.

It is mainly used for:

Preventing tank overflow
Detecting low liquid level
Controlling pump start and stop operation
Giving high level and low level alarm signals
Protecting equipment from dry run conditions
Providing reliable switching in compact tank designs
Replacing manual liquid level checking with automatic control

The side mounted internal design is useful because it does not depend on the total tank height. It is also easy to install from the side of the tank and is suitable for applications where top mounting is not possible.

D. Suitable Buyers

This product is suitable for:

OEM machine manufacturers
Boiler manufacturers
Sterilizer manufacturers
Kitchen equipment manufacturers
Industrial cleaning tank manufacturers
Water treatment system manufacturers
Panel builders and automation system integrators
Pharmaceutical equipment manufacturers
Food processing equipment manufacturers
Maintenance teams in factories and plants
Dealers and suppliers of industrial level instruments

FAQ

1. What is an internal side mount SS magnetic float level switch?
An internal side mount SS magnetic float level switch is a liquid level switch installed from the side of a tank to detect high or low liquid level. It uses a magnetic float to activate the switching contact.

2. What material is used in this level switch?
The stem and float are available in SS304 or SS316. SS316 is preferred for better corrosion resistance in industrial and chemical applications.

3. Where can this side mount level switch be used?
It can be used in sterilizers, water boilers, industrial cleaning tanks, kitchen equipment, process tanks, small vessels and liquid storage systems.

4. What is the temperature range of this switch?
The operating temperature range is from minus 40 degree C to 135 degree C.

5. What is the maximum operating pressure?
The maximum operating pressure is up to 3 Bar.

6. Can the length be customized?
Yes, the standard total length is 100 mm, but the length can be customized as per tank design and switching point requirement.

7. What switching options are available?
The switch is available in SPST normally open and SPDT normally open and normally closed configurations.

8. What voltage can this switch handle?
It can work up to 230V AC and 6 V to 32 V DC, depending on the application and switching requirement.

9. Is this switch suitable for pump control?
Yes, it can be used for pump start, pump stop, high level alarm, low level alarm and dry run protection applications.

10. Can this level switch be used in stainless steel tanks?
Yes, it is suitable for stainless steel tanks, water tanks, boilers, process vessels and similar industrial equipment.

11. What process connection is provided?
The standard connection is 1/4 inch BSP inverted male plug. Custom options such as M16, 1 inch BSP and TC fitting can also be provided.

12. Why should I choose an SS magnetic float level switch?
An SS magnetic float level switch is durable, corrosion resistant, compact and reliable for industrial liquid level switching applications. It provides accurate switching with simple installation and low maintenance.
