Horizontal Float Switches

Horizontal Liquid Level Sensors are side-mounted through a hermetically sealed hole on the side of a tank. When the level of the tank’s liquid rises or falls past the level of the float, the float will rise and fall with it, activating the switch. Wires then send an electric signal to the outside of the tank through the watertight seal, making these components essential for accurate monitoring or regulation of fluid levels in many contexts.

Like side-mounted switches, 90 degree mount float switches are mounted through the side of a tank. However, they function as vertically mounted switches, with a doughnut-shaped floats rising and falling with the level of the liquid around stems, actuating reed switches inside the stems.
