Mechanical flow switch for liquid media with stainless steel flange

VD-FK

Mechanical flow switch for liquid media, with DN 15 to DN 150 flange connection, 2-950 l/min H2O switching ranges, adjustable Reed contact, stainless steel construction and PN 40 pressure resistance.

Introduction

Reliable flow monitoring in demanding liquid lines needs a switch that is easy to set and built for the pipework around it. This mechanical flow switch supports repeatable monitoring with contactless actuation of an adjustable Reed contact, while the 180° scale and setting diagram help operators define the switching value clearly.
 
The stainless steel flange design fits DN 15 to DN 150 installations and supports H2O switching ranges from 2-950 l/min. With recommended Qmax. values up to 2000 l/min, PN 40 pressure resistance and media temperatures from -20..+120 °C, it is well suited for water and oil applications where stable switching behavior matters.
 
For consistent operation, the device is intended for horizontal flow as standard and uses a straight calming section of 5 x DN in the inlet and outlet. Options such as ingress protection (IP65), temperature indication, temperature monitoring, a metal cover and oil switching ranges allow closer adaptation to the application.

Features

Mechanical switching principle

The device monitors flow in liquid media using contactless actuation of an adjustable Reed contact.

Stainless steel design

Wetted parts include stainless steel materials such as 1.4408, stainless steel casting and 1.4571, depending on the component.

Flange connection

The product family is available with flange connection in nominal widths from DN 15 to DN 150.

Switching ranges

H2O ranges are selected by version and apply to horizontal flow with decreasing flow rate.

Electrical connection

The standard connection uses a DIN 43650-A / ISO 4400 plug and a changeover Reed switch.

Installation position

Standard mounting uses horizontal flow. Other installation positions are possible, but they affect the switching point or range.

Setpoint adjustment

The switching point is adjusted by loosening the switch head fixing screw and rotating the switch head.

Configuration options

Options include signal lamp, temperature indication, temperature monitoring, ingress protection (IP65), metal cover and oil switching ranges.
