Oil level of the gear box is an important parameter to be monitored. Damages expected due to low oil level are obvious and need not to be elaborated.
Old float type switches rely on buoyancy of the oil which changes with the impurities in the oil. Trip level also depends on the strength on the magnet used and needs adjustment for the individual piece.
In ACD switch, the sensing element is Capacitance Sensor whose performance is highly consistent, such that all the parameters can be precisely factory set and no in-situ adjustments are necessary.
The switch is designed in a weatherproof enclosure confirming to IP 65. (can be supplied in Flame Proof enclosure).
Reliable Low Oil Level DetectionThe Gear Box Low Oil Level Switch utilizes a float-type SPDT reed switch to accurately detect low oil levels in various applications such as industrial gear boxes, hydraulic tanks, and oil chambers. Its actuation is both fast and precise, boasting high sensitivity and a rapid response time.
Durable, Weatherproof ConstructionEngineered with a weatherproof polycarbonate enclosure and corrosion-resistant stainless steel/brass components, this switch is built for longevity in harsh environments. The IP65 rating ensures full protection against dust and water spray, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor installations.
Ease of Installation and CustomizationWith threaded process connection (1 BSP), side-mount design, and a standard 1.5-meter cable (customizable), the switch provides straightforward setup. Compact and lightweight, it fits into space-constrained systems while maintaining robust electrical performance for industrial monitoring needs.
FAQ's of Gear Box Low Oil Level Switch:
Q: How does the Gear Box Low Oil Level Switch function?
A: This device features a high-sensitivity float-type reed switch that detects when oil drops below a set level in your gear box. It sends an ON/OFF single to your monitoring system via an SPDT output, enabling timely intervention to avoid equipment damage.
Q: What fluids is this oil level switch compatible with?
A: The switch is suitable for use with both mineral oil and synthetic oil, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial lubrication systems and applications.
Q: When should I install or replace the oil level switch?
A: Install the switch during scheduled maintenance or system downtime. It should be replaced if you notice inaccurate readings, repeated false alarms, or visible physical damage. Thanks to its long service life of over 1,000,000 operations, replacements are infrequent.
Q: Where can this switch be mounted?
A: The switch is designed for side-mount installation on gear boxes, hydraulic tanks, or oil chambers using its 1 BSP threaded process connection. Ensure mounting at the correct height for your required measurement range.
Q: What is the installation process for this switch?
A: Installation is straightforward: Secure the threaded sensor into the designated port, connect the 3-core cable to your electrical system, and confirm proper function via ON/OFF signal checks. The standard 1.5-meter cable length can be customized to fit your application.
Q: How does the switch benefit industrial operations?
A: By providing high-accuracy oil level detection (2 mm accuracy, 1 mm resolution) with a rapid response time (<1 sec), this switch helps prevent equipment failure due to low lubrication. Its robust, weatherproof design ensures reliability and minimal maintenance in industrial environments.
