• Float, Level Sensors:

Float level sensors, such as the SSF67B50B100PM12, are vital pieces of equipment for a wide variety of industries, including oil & gas, water & waste treatment, packaging, and process control. float level sensors measure the level of liquid or solid materials in a tank or bin, and provide an output signal when the level is reached. This is done by using a float, which is connected to an electronic contact mechanism within the unit. When the float is raised or lowered, either by a change in the level of liquid or solid material, or by an external force, it triggers the contact to send a signal.

This signal can be sent directly to a PLC, or used to activate a pump, valve, or other process-control device. The type of signal, and the type of alert that is generated, depend on the model and specifications of the float, as well as the type, shape, and size of the tank or bin.

The major components of a float level sensor are the float, stem, body, and contact. The float is typically made of a material such as stainless steel or plastic, and is filled with a liquid. This liquid is heavier than the material being measured, allowing the float to move up and down as the level changes. The stem holds the float in place and is usually made of metal, plastic, or PVC. The body houses the stem and contains the electronic contact mechanism.

The contact is typically a reed switch, which contains a magnetically reactive metal wire and a contact made of a ferromagnetic material. When the float is raised or lowered, the contact is either opened or closed to send a signal. This signal can be set to indicate an alarm, an “on” or “off” condition, or anything in between. The signal can also be sent to a PLC, where it can be used to activate a pump, valve, or other process-control device.

Float level sensors are simple, reliable, and cost-effective solutions for measuring liquid and solid levels. They are widely used for controlling, monitoring, and alarms in many different industries. The SSF67B50B100PM12, along with other float-type level sensors, provide a valuable and effective tool in controlling and efficiently managing a wide range of industrial processes.
