floatgivare

Floatgivare, also known as a float switch or level sensor, is a device used to detect the level of a liquid in a tank or container. It operates on a simple principle: a buoyant element, typically a float, rises and falls with the liquid level. This movement is then mechanically or electrically linked to a switch that triggers an action. When the liquid reaches a certain predetermined level, the float moves a lever or actuates a reed switch, closing or opening an electrical circuit. This can be used to control pumps, activate alarms, or shut off filling mechanisms. Floatgivare are widely employed in various applications, including domestic water systems, industrial processes, and automotive fuel tanks. They are valued for their reliability, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness in monitoring and controlling liquid levels. Different types of floatgivare exist, varying in their construction and the materials used to suit different liquids and environmental conditions.
