Vibrating Level Switches
With decades of experience in level measurement and process control, iCenta Controls supplies reliable vibrating level switches for dependable point-level detection in liquids and bulk solids. Designed to operate in demanding industrial environments, these sensors provide accurate switching with minimal maintenance and excellent long-term reliability. Our vibrating level switches help protect equipment, automate processes, and maintain safe operation.
What is a Vibrating Level Switch?
A vibrating level switch is a point-level sensor that detects the presence or absence of a liquid or solid at a predetermined level. It uses a vibrating probe or tuning fork to detect when the process media contacts the sensor, making it ideal for high- and low-level alarms.
They are valued for their accuracy, reliability, and ability to operate in a wide range of process conditions, including applications involving viscous liquids, powders, granules, and bulk solids.
How Do They Work?Â
Vibrating level switches use a probe or tuning fork that oscillates at a fixed frequency. When the sensor is uncovered, it vibrates freely. As the liquid or solid reaches the probe, the vibration frequency changes, allowing the instrument to detect the level and activate an output.
The switching signal can then be used to trigger an alarm, control pumps, or automate other process equipment. With no moving mechanical parts, vibrating level switches provide reliable operation while requiring very little maintenance.
