Dwyer AFS Series Adjustable Flow Switches are externally adjustable piston-type flow switches for oils, liquids, and gases. This Series offers an infinite number of flow settings from 0.5 to 20 GPM.
Dwyer AFS Series Piston Adjustable Flow Switch |
Shuttle or piston flow switches are sensors with an electrical contact output at a specific flow rate. Models are used with oil, air, water, and gases. Applications include oil flow control, low flow detection in cooling lines, and high-pressure lubrication systems. Rugged construction and excellent chemical compatibility simplify flow/no flow detection.
Dwyer AFS Series Features
- Externally adjustable flow set point
- Offers a number of flow settings at pressures up to 1000 psig, with low-pressure drop and precise repeatability
Application
- Protecting machine tools from coolant flow failure
- Protecting bearings from loss of lubricant
- Assuring proper air flow
- Water or compatible liquid control
- Oil flow control
- Control of gas flows
