Bernstein designs and manufactures a modular system of float switches which can be combined and configured to create a switch that ideally meets customer specifications. Float switches provide a reliable and cost-effective acquisition of level information in containers with stagnant or flowing liquids, such as water, oils, alkaline solutions and similar substances. A float switch comprises a connector element, a switching tube with 1 to 4 reed contacts and the float.

The float is equipped with an integrated ring magnet and rises and falls with the level of the fluid.

The magnetised contact reeds trigger a signal as soon as the float reaches the sensing range of the reed contact.

The range of Bernstein float switches ranges from miniature versions to heavy-duty and pressure-resistant versions.

The particular advantage of these float switches is, that the switching contact can directly - when furnished with the proper protection - switch loads, eg relays, signal lamps or even small pumps.
