floatactuated
Floatactuated is an adjective describing devices or systems in which actuation is driven by the position of a buoyant float within a liquid. The term emphasizes a direct link between liquid level and an output signal or mechanical action, rather than reliance on timers or external inputs. In typical floatactuated assemblies, a float is connected to a lever, rod, or magnet; as the liquid level changes, the float moves and causes a switch to open or close, or drives a valve or pump.
Mechanisms commonly used in floatactuated systems include float switches, where a magnet in the float operates
Applications for floatactuated devices span water tanks, toilets, sump pits, boilers, and industrial process vessels, where
Design considerations include buoyancy and density effects, potential fouling and wear of moving parts, and the
