Solid-state flow switch offers reliable operation for OEMs
Gems Sensors & Controls is launching the FS-600 flow switch for OEM applications. The FS-600 is a robust device, manufactured from durable stainless steel that works with both conductive and non-conductive fluids. Suitable for fluids with large particles and slurries, the solid-state sensor has no moving parts and is immune to changes in viscosity. With the use of thermal dispersion technology the FS-600 will provide years of dependable worry-free service even in applications without filtration.
The FS-600 is available in various housings to suit a wide variety of pipe sizes for flow rates from 0.1 to 10GPM. Priced to be affordable for OEM applications, the straight-through switch is designed for a long life and can be mounted in any orientation. The FS-600 can also be customised with any setpoint specified by the customer.
Kevin Castonguay, Product Marketing Manager for Gems Sensors & Controls, states: "The FS-600 is a robust solution for customers using traditional flow switches with moving parts. Because there are no moving parts to jam, wear or break, the FS-600 flow sensor eliminates maintenance issues. Finally, a no-moving-parts flow switch is available at OEM pricing."
