FF Series Side-Mount Magnetic Float Level Switch

Introduction – FF Series Side-Mount Magnetic Float Level Switch

The FF Series Side-Mount Magnetic Float Level Switch is an industrial-grade solution engineered for reliable liquid level detection using the principles of buoyancy and magnetism. As the liquid level changes, the magnet-equipped float moves correspondingly, activating a switch mechanism inside the stationary stem to open or close an electrical circuit. This simple yet robust design ensures dependable operation across a wide range of fluids.

With compatibility for liquids as light as 0.25 S.G., the FF Series is suitable for demanding industrial environments requiring accurate high, low, or intermediate level detection. Its availability in stainless steel or polypropylene construction provides flexibility for both corrosive and standard service applications. Dubai Sensor offers this proven technology to customers in diverse industries, including those across the UAE and wider MENA region.

The FF Series supports SPDT reed switch or SPDT microswitch outputs, enabling integration into various control systems. Optional explosionproof, corrosion-resistant, and marine-certified versions allow reliable performance in harsh or specialized environments. Designed for side mounting—though adaptable for some top-mount needs using special float extensions—the FF Series provides long-term durability and operational efficiency.
