SC Series Tuning Fork Level Switch

Product catalog summary
Working Principle
The tuning fork level switch uses a piezoelectric component to drive the tuning fork and detect material contact through frequency changes. This mechanism eliminates frequent sensitivity adjustments.
Features
- Suitable for a variety of materials and industries.
- Detects minimum and maximum levels in containers.
- Requires no frequent calibration and is durable.
- Adjustable sensitivity for different media densities.
- Dual insulation for temperature and humidity protection.
- Self-diagnosis for abnormalities.
- Compact design with rotatable wiring box.
Product Introduction
Applicable to both solid and liquid materials in industries like chemical, rubber, cement, steel, food, and pharmaceuticals.

SC Series Tuning Fork Level Switch-2

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION WORKING PRINCIPLE The piezoelectric component is used to drive the tuning fork and feedback signal, which produces the resonation on the fork. When the fork comes into contact with a material, the fork will release some frequency signal as feedback. It will be converted into the output of the contact signal when the circuit detects the frequency decrease of the signal. The product relies on the damping effect by covering the testing material on the tuning fork which reduces the vibration frequency of the tuning fork and outputs a switch signal. Therefore, there is no signal...
