These level measurements are indicated via an electrical switching action. Vibrating level switch, Vibrating tuning fork Level switches are used to detect liquid or powder levels, or interfaces between liquids.

#FORK TYPE LEVEL SWITCH SERIES#
The TF-100 Series vibration technology level switch is an excellent choice for most high level or low level liquid level measurement requirements. It carries FM hazardous area approvals and is available in sanitary models for pharmaceutical, food and beverage applicaitions. The compact design makes this level switch ideal for limited space installation. The TF-100 Series comes in a compact design with sensor lengths as short as 1.9" (47mm). It is available with Relay, Current, and PNP outputs that can be set to indicate alarm on either high level for spill prevention, or low level for run-dry protection. This level switch is designed for reliable indication of clean liquids and light slurries. TF-100 Series is a vibrating level switch with TF-L relay output and TF-P transistor output or with TF-T current output. Process Control Devices offers a series of level switches designed to detect & control the level of liquid within a tank.

It works like any alarm switch that turns on/off when the level of fluid goes above or below a predetermined level.

This prompts it to actuate an alarm, pump or valve. When the forks are exposed to liquid, the frequency drops and this is detected by the switch electronics. These models also feature two forks that vibrate at their mechanical resonance frequency, allowing them to self-clean when they come into contact with air. As it contacts the material in a tank, its oscillation stops, prompting the switch to output a detection signal. Vibration type level switches are composed of a vibrating rod made from stainless steel. When level reaches tuning fork, then change in vibration is measured to detect. It is the most widely used product in the material (liquid) level switch instrument. Tuning Fork Level Switch excites the tuning fork & makes it to vibrate. The product can adapt to the harsh working conditions and work reliably. When the vibrating fork for pharmaceuticals is subjected to medium damping, the v ibrating fork stops vibrating, and the control circuit drives the relay to send out a switch signal. The sensing part for detecting the material (liquid) level is composed of the vibrating fork for liquids, which has a fixed vibration frequency and amplitude vibration. The Vibrating Fork Level Switch is designed using the principle of the damping effect of the medium on the v ibrating fork vibration and the piezoelectric effect.
