Orbit: Rotating Paddle Level Sensor/Switch for Solids
Item Code: RP
Orbit - Stepmatic Rotary Paddle Level Switch (Use in Chemical, PVC Powders, Plastic Chips, Cement etc.)
- Application Temperature Range : up to 250° C
- Adjustable RPM and adjustable switching sensitivity
- Motor fault indication
- Foldable paddle mechanism for ease of installation
- Variable sensitivity control, one paddle for all applications
- Direct stepper gear motor design, maintenance-free
Principle
A stepper motor is attached with spring which drives the paddle and rotates it freely in the absense of material. Two sensor are also provided with it which sense the motor action with the help of magnet and
starts/stops the motor accordingly. When the material covers the paddle then the spring is streched backward and the
sensor sense the movement with the help of magnet and stops the motor and when material gets empty then again
spring come back to its original position and the other sensor sense the action and starts the motor so paddle rotates
freely again.
