Float switch for every application situation

Customized solutions for reliable level detection in containers and tanks - directly from German production.

Challenges when selecting a suitable float switch

At first glance, a float switch sounds like a simple component. However, many users quickly realize that the devil is in the detail. Standard solutions often fall short - the switching point does not match the tank geometry, the material is unsuitable for aggressive media, or the assembly requires adjustments that cost time and money. 
There are also uncertainties regarding electrical connections, compatibility with the control system or subsequent retrofitting. In short: If you choose the wrong float switch, you pay twice - with delays, failures or inefficient processes.

Float switches - tailored to your application

We develop and manufacture float switches that fit your situation exactly. No detours, no reworking, no adaptation in the field. Whether horizontal or vertical, from the tank height to the medium used, made of stainless steel or plastic, with one or more switching points - we provide you with exactly the component that your system needs. And the best thing is that with us, you don't speak to a call center, but directly to the technical team. This allows us to clarify all requirements during project preparation - precisely and with a focus on solutions.

Why our solution works

A float switch works according to a simple but ingenious principle: a magnet integrated in the float moves up and down with the liquid level. A reed contact is located inside the riser tube. When the magnet passes its position, the contact switches contactlessly - an electrical signal is triggered. This design has several advantages: it is maintenance-free, energy-efficient and extremely durable. The highlight: we can freely define the height, position and number of switching points - entirely according to your specifications. You decide whether a signal should be triggered when a minimum, maximum or intermediate value is reached.
