Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and details for the LC40 Series float level switches, designed for liquid level detection in various industrial applications. These switches are known for their simple and robust construction, versatility, and adaptability to different control positions in industrial processes.
Specifications:
  • Construction: Simple, robust, watertight, and safe installation with excellent chemical resistance.
  • Mounting: Available for side or top of the tank mounting.
  • Materials: Options include EN 1.4404 (AISI 316L), PVC, PP, PVDF, and PTFE.
  • Connections: Standard EN 1092-1 DN65 flange, with other sizes and standards available on request.
  • Pressure and Temperature: Designed for high pressure and temperature, with specific models available for extended ranges.
Working Principle: The float level switch operates by using a float that follows liquid level variations, moving an articulated rod that activates a switch. The switch type can vary based on application requirements, including micro-switch, reed switch, inductive detector, or pneumatic switch.
Applications:
  • Pumps start-stop control
  • Industrial process control
  • Dosing and process tanks
  • Chemical industry machinery tanks
  • Food and textile industry tanks
  • Steam condensate tanks
Models:
  • LC40: Side mounting
  • LC40-BA: Side mounting
  • LC40-V: Top mounting
  • LC40-VR: Top mounting
Technical Data:
  • Switching Differential: 52 mm up to 1100 mm with accessories.
  • Liquid Density: 0.45 to 3 kg/l.
  • Liquid Viscosity: Maximum 3000 mPa·s.
  • Temperature Ranges: Vary by material, with AISI 316L supporting -50ºC to +150ºC, and up to +300ºC on request.
  • Ambient Temperature: -30ºC to +80ºC.
  • Working Pressure: AISI 316L up to PN400 on request, others up to PN10.
Limit Switches: Options include SPDT micro-switch, inductive detector, SPDT reed switch, and ON/OFF two-way pneumatic switch, with ATEX Ex d IIC T6 versions available on request.
Installation Recommendations: Specific installation dimensions and requirements are provided for different materials and connection sizes.
Certifications: The product complies with ISO 9001, Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/CE, and ATEX European Directive 94/9/CE.

Series_LC40_Float_Level_Switch-2

Working principle Float level switches. When a liquid reaches the level where the level switch is positioned, its float follows the level variations in a such way that the articulated rod is moved. A magnet placed in the opposite side of this rod activates a switch. This switch can be either a micro-switch, a reed switch, an inductive detector or a pneumatic switch, depending on the application requirements.  Connections: EN 1092-1 DN65 flange Other sizes and flange standards on request Special square flange 92 x 92 / 108 x 108 mm  Mounting: side of the tank.
