Horizontal Float Level Switch

What’s The Working Principle Of Horizontal Float Level Switch?

The Horizontal Float Level Switch operates on the principle of buoyancy and is installed on the side of the tank via a threaded/flange. When the liquid level inside the tank changes, the float swings with the rise and fall of the liquid level, triggering an internal magnetic switch to output a switching signal, thereby realizing high and low level alarms and pump start/stop control.

Widely Application Of Side Mounted Level Switch:

The Horizontal Float Level Switch is widely used in level monitoring of storage tanks and reaction vessels in industries such as chemical, water treatment, petroleum, shipbuilding, food and pharmaceutical. It does not continuously measure liquid levels, has a simple and reliable structure, and is suitable for various corrosive and ordinary liquid conditions.

Features:

• Side-mounted Design: Installation via openings in the tank side wall, no need for top-mounted space, suitable for applications with tall tanks where top installation is not feasible; convenient disassembly, maintenance, and repair.
• All Stainless Steel Wetted Parts: Wepower’s side mounted level swith wetted parts are made of SS304/316 with optional special materials such as Hastelloy C and PTFE. Offers excellent resistance to acid and alkali corrosion. Suitable for service with water, oil, solvents and mildly corrosive media, and satisfies hygiene standards for food‑contact and marine applications.
• Magnetic Coupling Non-Contact Transmission: No mechanical through-shafts, eliminating leakage risk.
• Wide Operating Condition Adaptability: Suitable for oils, liquids, and corrosive liquids; can withstand high working pressures and temperatures.
• Robust & Durable Structure: No electronic components are immersed in the medium, vibration-resistant, not easily damaged, and long service life.
