Why Choose Dimens Vibrating Fork Type Level Switches?
Our vibrating fork type level switches are designed to offer you peace of mind with their high accuracy, reliability, and durability. Whether you need them for liquid level detection or solid material measurement, our switches provide the precise control you need to maintain efficient and safe operations.
How It Works: Vibrating fork level switches operate on the tuning fork principle. A piezoelectric crystal vibrates the fork at its natural frequency. When the fork is immersed in a material, the frequency changes, triggering an electronic signal that indicates the presence of the material. This mechanism ensures highly accurate and reliable level detection.
