Magnetic switch for level gauge

July 14, 2008
K-Tek has a new magnetically actuated electric switch, the MS41.
It features a dual-compartment design that isolates the 10 A DPDT switch from the environment. It comes in a NEMA 4X enclosure. Because the switch has a cam action with no bias springs, the company states that it requires no maintenance. The MS41 switch can be used with K-TEK’s KM26 Magnetic Level Gauge, LS Series Cage Level Instruments, or an external chamber that contains a magnetic float. The MS41 senses high or low levels within a vessel. The 
unique, magnetic coupling action eliminates the need for seals, diaphragm springs, or torque tubes because there is no physical contact with the process.
