Other Level Switches

We also stock and source additional level switch products from major multinational manufacturers where applications dictate that an alternative technology to our float switches, capacitance probes and vibrating switches would work better or the application is more complicated and requires a more highly configurable or accurate solution.

 

Selecting the correct level switch is led by the requirements of an application not the technology or products a manufacturer is able to supply.   Our partnerships enable us to consider the application first and then select the best level switch in terms of both performance and value.  Additional technologies we supply include:

  • Conductivity switches
  • Ultrasonic switches
  • Radar switches
  • Radiation switches
  • Optical switches

Understanding Basic Magnetic Reed Switch Operations for Float Switches

Magnetic Reed Switches and Float SwitchesFloat switches are fundamentally a basic level control product often containing a reed switch to perform the required level control action.  The most confusing part in selecting a float switch is determining the magnetic reed...

Types of Float Switches

Different Types of Float Switch and Their PricesThere are a number of different types of float switches, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.  Most designs can be made to different specifications to suit the ruggedness requirements of an application....

Train level measurement, gauges and indicators

To solve a specific problem with access and the lack of height between a fuel tank and the trains body, AMS have modified the head of our approved level sensors to allow fitting in confined spaces. This development also removed the need for the transmitter to be located in a separate box on the side of the tank and allowed the sensor to be wired directly to the indicators, saving significant additional costs in materials and wiring time.

Train level measurement and control

Advances in the way instrumentation can be powered due to processing capabilities at reduced power levels, combined with the ever-continuing miniaturisation of electronics capability, has created the opportunity for rail companies to consider more modern electronic/digital technology as an alternative to the traditional methods for level measurement.
