Float switch SKF1A-10 T0-SKF1A-10

Float switches – reliable protection for installations

The SKF1A-10 float switch is a device designed to automatically switch on and off electrical circuits depending on the liquid level. Its main task is to protect pumps, motors and other devices from running dry, which can lead to their damage. The construction based on a 1CO switching contact ensures versatility in various control systems.

Construction and principle of operation

The SKF1A-10 float switch consists of a body with a float and a switching contact. The float, rising with the rising liquid level, activates a switching mechanism that switches the electrical circuit on or off. The cable length of 10 meters provides a great deal of installation freedom and allows for flexible adaptation to specific installation conditions. The IP68 protection class guarantees tightness and resistance to external factors, enabling safe operation even in difficult environmental conditions.

Applications and benefits

The SKF1A-10 switch is widely used in:

• Drainage systems: automatic switching on of pumps when the water level rises and switching off when the desired level is reached.
• Retention tanks: protection of pumps against running dry in the event of a liquid level drop.
• Irrigation systems: controlling pumps based on the water level in tanks.
• Industrial installations: protecting devices from damage caused by lack of cooling or lubricating liquid.
• Home installations: protecting septic tank pumps or pressure systems from running dry.

Using this switch translates to:

• Increased safety: protecting devices from damage and extending their service life.
• Process automation: eliminating the need to manually control pumps and other devices.
• Energy saving: switching off the pump after reaching the desired liquid level reduces electricity consumption.
• Reliable operation: solid construction and high quality workmanship ensure long-lasting and trouble-free operation of the device.
• Easy installation: 10-meter cable facilitates adaptation to different installation configurations.
