External cage switches technology

A permanent magnet is attached to a pivoted switch actuator. As the float/displacer rises following the liquid level, it raises the attraction sleeve into the field of the magnet, which then snaps against the non-magnetic enclosing tube, actuating the switch. The enclosing tube provides a static pressure boundary between the switch mechanism and the process. On a falling level, the float/displacer deactivates the switch.

Operating principle

As the counter weighted float follows liquid level changes, a magnetic sleeve is moved into or out of the field of a switch-actuating magnet causing switch operation. A non-magnetic barrier tube isolates the switch mechanism from the controlled liquid
