How it works NYYCUK tuning fork level switch is a new type of level switch. It is designed and manufactured based on the principle of tuning fork vibration. It is located at the base of the sensing rod of the tuning fork level switch. The tuning fork rod is driven by a piezoelectric chip, and another piezoelectric chip receives the vibration signal, so that the vibration signal can be circulated and the sensing rod resonates. When the material contacts the sensing rod, the vibration signal gradually decreases until the resonance stops, and the control circuit outputs an electrical contact signal. Due to the natural principle that the sensitivity of the sensing rod decreases from the front to the back seat, no error signal will be generated when the material in the barrel tank and the surrounding of the barrel accumulate upward and touch the base of the sensing rod (the back) or discharge the material. Simply put, sound generates mechanical vibration under the excitation of the piezoelectric body, and this vibration has a certain frequency and amplitude. When the tuning fork is immersed in liquid or solid, the vibration frequency and amplitude of the tuning fork will change. This frequency change is detected by the electronic circuit and a switch quantity is output. Design Principle Suitable for measuring medium-density solid powders or granules that can flow freely. Also suitable for almost all liquid media, this series of tuning fork level switches can measure a variety of levels, with high/low fail-safe limit switches, overflow or dry-running protection, pump control, display of flow/no flow in the pipeline and other functions. It is not affected by foam, eddy current, or gas, and is suitable for fixed-point alarm or control of the solid material level in various silos and the liquid level in various containers. A variety of models are available to suit different applications. Long service life, stable performance, safe and reliable Strong adaptability - Different electrical parameters and densities of the measured materials have no effect on the measurement. Scaling, agitation, turbulence, bubbles, vibration, medium viscosity, high temperature, high pressure and other harsh conditions have no effect on the detection. No need for adjustment: It is not affected by the dielectric constant and density of the measured medium, so no on-site adjustment is required no matter what kind of liquid is measured. Maintenance-free: The detection process of the tuning fork switch is completed by electronic circuits, with no moving parts. Once installed and put into operation, no on-site adjustment is required.
Key Advantages
