Vertical Float Switches

Yes, vertical float switches can be adjusted by repositioning the float or stop collars along the mounting rod to set specific trigger points for high and low liquid levels. Custom threads, through tubes, and fitting configurations also allow the switch to be tailored to exact tank depths and mounting requirements.

Vertical float switches mount along a rod or stem and detect level as the float moves up and down, offering precise multi-point detection in narrow openings. Horizontal float switches pivot on a hinge from a side-mounted point, making them better suited for wide tanks with limited vertical clearance.

A vertical magnetic float switch uses a stainless steel float ball with an embedded magnet that slides along a vertical stem. As liquid level changes, the magnet passes a reed switch inside the stem, closing or opening an electrical circuit to signal level status without direct electrical contact with the liquid.

Our vertical float switches are constructed from 304 or 316 stainless steel, chosen for corrosion resistance and durability in demanding environments. Finishes include matte, brushed, or fully polished options, and materials can be matched to specific chemical compatibility or food-grade requirements upon request.

Yes, float switches can be customized with specific thread sizes, through-tube diameters, fittings, and float shapes to match exact tank dimensions and mounting hardware. Round and oblong floats are available in numerous sizes, with custom magnet placement and pressure testing to meet unique system specifications.

Yes, stainless steel vertical float switches are widely used in chemical manufacturing to safely monitor corrosive liquid levels. The 304ss and 316ss construction resists rust and chemical degradation, making these switches reliable for aggressive fluids in industrial process control and wastewater treatment applications.
