What is the Mini Level Paddle Wheel Switch (PWS) used for?

The PWS is designed for precise level sensing in small bins and hoppers. It is ideal for applications requiring a compact, adjustable, and cost-effective solution for monitoring material levels.

The PWS uses a rotating paddle to detect material levels. When the paddle encounters resistance from stored material, it stops rotating, triggering an electrical signal to indicate the level status.

The PWS features four adjustable torque settings, allowing you to customize the sensitivity based on material density and application needs. This makes it versatile for various industries.

The PWS is rated for indoor use and is available in IP40 and IP65 configurations, providing different levels of protection against dust and moisture.

The detection range depends on the material being monitored and the selected torque setting. The adjustable sensitivity allows for customization based on application needs.
