Float switch SKF-35 T0-SKF-35

Float switches – reliable protection against flooding

The SKF-35 float switch is a simple yet effective solution for automatically switching off devices when the liquid level rises. It is used in pumping systems, tanks, septic tanks, and in installations protecting against the effects of floods. Thanks to its construction and tightness (IP68), it can operate in difficult conditions exposed to contact with water and contaminants.

Construction and principle of operation

The switch consists of a body with a float and a switching mechanism located inside. As the liquid level rises, the float rises, which activates the electrical contacts. The SKF-35 model has a 1CO (single-pole) changeover contact, which means that when a set liquid level is reached, the circuit is disconnected. The cable length of 35 meters provides installation flexibility even in remote points of the installation.

Applications and benefits

• Pump protection: Prevents the pump from running dry, which extends its life and minimizes the risk of damage.
• Process automation: Enables automatic control of devices depending on the liquid level, e.g. in irrigation or tank emptying systems.
• Flood protection: Protects rooms and devices from the effects of rising water levels – an ideal solution for basements, boiler rooms or septic tanks.
• Versatility: Suitable for use with various types of liquids, not only water – also with sewage or oils (compatibility of materials should be checked).
• Easy installation: Thanks to the long cable and tapered design, the switch can be easily installed in hard-to-reach places.
• High reliability: The IP68 degree of protection guarantees resistance to water and dust ingress, ensuring long-lasting and trouble-free operation.
• Designed for continuous operation: The switch is designed to operate in continuous mode without the risk of overheating or damage to the switching mechanism.

This model of float switch is particularly recommended for professional applications where high reliability and resistance to harsh environmental conditions are required. It will work in both industrial installations and home flood protection systems. The rated current of 10A and the rated voltage of 250V AC allow it to handle most standard electrical devices.
