VEGA VEGAVIB 62 Vibrating Level Switch

Product Overview

Level Switch VEGA VEGAVIB 62

VEGA VEGAVIB 62 is a vibrating level switch designed for use with granular and coarse-grained bulk solids, reliably and accurately the minimum or maximum level.

The VEGAVIB 62 has a smooth surface without corners and edges which avoids jamming of the bulk solid and allowing for it to be easily cleaned. The position of the switching point is specified flexibly through the length of the suspension cable.

VEGA level switches are suitable for use in hazardous areas and their instruments also have various ship approvals such as e.g. DNV, GL, LRS or ABS.

Function

The vibrating rod of VEGAVIB 62 is energized by a piezo drive to vibrate at its resonance frequency. If the medium covers the vibrating rod, the amplitude is damped.

The electronics detects this change and converts it into a switching command. A reliable function in granulated bulk solids is ensured by the ideal rod design.
