A rotating paddle level switch is a device used to detect the level of a liquid or solid material in a tank or vessel. It is also known as a rotary vane level switch or a paddle wheel level switch. The device consists of a rotating paddle that is mounted inside the tank or vessel. The paddle rotates continuously, and when the material reaches a certain level, it pushes against the paddle and stops it from rotating. The switch detects this change in the paddle’s movement and sends a signal to a controller or an alarm system.
Rotating paddle level switches operate on a simple principle. The switch consists of a motor that rotates a paddle inside the tank or vessel. The paddle is mounted on a shaft that is connected to the motor. The rotation of the paddle is continuous and is typically set to a specific speed.
