Description
Why Choose the SAS-16™ Snap-Action Switch?
- Tri-Magnet Magnetic Repulsion Design
The SAS-16’s patented mechanism uses magnetic repulsion for precise snap-action switching. As the float rises or falls, the secondary magnet rotates, triggering a positive mechanical switch action that’s highly reliable in extreme conditions. - External Mounting = No Fluid Contact
Designed to be mounted externally on a magnetic level indicator, the SAS-16 ensures zero contact with process fluids, enhancing safety, reducing maintenance, and extending lifespan. - Built for Harsh Environments
Operating in temperatures up to 750°F, the SAS-16 is ideal for high-temperature or high-vibration process environments. - Fully Adjustable & Compact
Its adjustable switch post allows for flexible setpoint configurations, while the compact form factor fits seamlessly on a variety of indicator chambers.
Applications
- High-temperature process columns
- Steam drum level indication
- Level monitoring in refineries and chemical plants
- Hazardous area switching
