Contact Type Liquid Level Sensor

Contact Type Liquid Level Sensor Overview


A contact type liquid level sensor uses a mechanical float with a magnet. When liquid reaches a set point, the float moves and actuates a sealed reed contact. The output is a simple on/off signal that can drive pumps, alarms, or controllers. It works well in tanks, reservoirs, and pipelines where direct, dependable switching is required.


What is it


The device mounts inside a vessel or through its wall. As the float rises or falls with the liquid, the contact changes state and provides point level control. Compared with non-contact methods, it is less affected by foam or vapor and offers a cost-effective threshold.


Working principles and designs


Float + reed switch design


A buoyant magnetic float travels along a stem. When it aligns with a reed switch, the circuit toggles. This design supports single-point or multi-point detection and draws little power.


Horizontal and vertical mounting


A horizontal switch installs through the sidewall at a fixed level. A vertical unit mounts from the top or bottom and allows adjustable set points. Choose orientation based on tank geometry, access, and maintenance needs.


Core Advantages and Manufacturer Capabilities


With in-house R&D, design, and manufacturing, we tailor sensors to the liquid, temperature, tank design, and electrical interface. We can also pair them with dedicated controllers for stable operation. Our team supports quick iteration from concept to production and provides documentation for integration.


R&D strength and OEM/ODM customization


From reed selection to float geometry and stem materials, we customize length, mounting threads, cable or connector, output type, and environmental protections to meet your requirements.


Patents, certifications, and quality


Over 10 years of development and 30+ patents back our designs. We use rigorous design verification, functional testing, and relevant certifications to ensure consistent performance.


Complete portfolio and solution support


Beyond contact floats, we offer non-contact level sensors, controllers, multi-point displays, and motion sensors for integrated tank control, alarms, and remote monitoring.


Product Range and Options


XKC-Y20 Float Switch


XKC-Y20 is a compact, dependable device for point level detection in tanks and pipelines. It provides crisp switching for pumps, valves, and alarms. Versions cover horizontal or vertical mounting and materials suited to different media.


Key features



  • Reed switch design with precise on/off output


  • Configurable normally open or normally closed logic


  • Stainless steel options for oils and fuels; PP versions for water and mild chemicals



Typical variants (material, mount, output)



  • Materials: 304/316L stainless steel or PP


  • Mounting: horizontal side-mount, vertical top-mount, adjustable stem lengths


  • Outputs: dry contact; interface boards add relay or NPN/PNP outputs



Multi-point and display/controller pairing


For multi-level indication or pump staging, use multi-point floats or combine several switches at different heights.


CY10 multi-point display integration


CY10 provides multi-level indication and relay outputs for several set points, simplifying panel integration and maintenance.


Controllers and modules


Control units add delay, interlock, and protection to stabilize operation in tanks with turbulence or foam.


Applications


Water tanks, HVAC, and utilities


Enable reliable fill and drain control in storage tanks, boilers, cooling towers, and sump systems. Operation is unaffected by steam and foam that can disrupt other methods.


Industrial fluids, oils, and chemicals


Select stainless steel for oils and fuels, or PP for mild chemicals. Contact designs deliver dependable thresholds in lubricants, hydraulic oils, and process fluids.


Medical devices and appliances


Compact floats fit reservoirs in sterilizers, coffee machines, and lab equipment where clean switching and long life are important.


Agriculture and machinery


Automate irrigation tanks, sprayers, and machinery with robust contact detection that resists splashes and vibration.


Selection Guide


Medium, temperature, and pressure


Identify the liquid and temperature range. Choose stainless steel for hot fluids or fuels; select PP for potable water and mild chemicals. Confirm any pressure limits.


Mounting orientation and dimensions


Use a horizontal switch for fixed levels. Choose a vertical mount when adjustable set points or narrow tanks are required. Check thread size, gasket material, and stem length.


Output and electrical interface


Define switching logic (NO/NC), required load (signal or relay), and system voltage. Add interface boards for relay isolation or NPN/PNP outputs if needed.


Reliability and lifespan considerations


Consider cycle rate, turbulence, and contamination. Add mechanical guards and controller debounce or delay to reduce chatter and extend service life.


Installation, Wiring, and Maintenance


Quick installation steps



  • Verify orientation and float direction (up or down)


  • Apply gasket or sealant and torque to specification


  • Wire per logic (NO/NC) and verify switching in liquid



Wiring options and safety notes


Use shielded cables where EMI is present. Separate power and signal lines. Add relay or opto-isolation for inductive loads.


Maintenance and troubleshooting


Inspect floats for fouling. Verify continuity changes at set points. Check controller thresholds and replace gaskets during reinstallation.
