What Capacitive Switch Technology Actually Detects Search for "capacitive switch" and most results describe touchscreens or HMI buttons that respond to a fingertip. Industrial capacitive switch techno...

How a Float Switch Actually Turns a Pump On and Off Inside most float switches sits a sealed stainless steel or PP tube containing a reed switch. A separate float — a ring-shaped body with a magnet em...

How Capacitive Level Sensing Works A capacitive liquid level sensor forms one plate of a capacitor out of an insertion probe, while the tank wall (or a second reference rod) forms the other. The liqui...

Fundamental Operation and Core Components Mechanical pressure switches are robust electromechanical devices that convert fluid pressure into an electrical signal to control or protect industrial syste...

The Industrial Cost of Getting Liquid Level Wrong A chemical storage tank overflows because the sensor missed a rising level by a few centimeters. A cooling system runs dry because the low-level alarm...

What Are Level Switches and Why Industrial Processes Depend on Them A level switch is an instrument designed to detect when the level of a liquid, powder, or granular solid inside a tank, vessel, or s...
