Built for machine-cutting oils and pump control, this flow switch serves a range of applications.
Built for machine-cutting oils and pump control, this flow switch serves a range of applications.
The FSW-40A and FSW-50 Series flow switches feature 15 A SPDT switches and an internal screw adjustment for in-line monitoring of switch points. Multiple drag disks provide incremental switch point adjustment.
Their non-magnetic design makes these switches ideal for applications in which rust is a problem. The FSW-40A Series has a brass and stainless steel construction, while the FSW-50 Series comes in a plastic/316 SS construction.
