LE Rotary Paddle Level Switch

The LE rotary paddle level switch uses a micro motor as the drive unit. The drive shaft is connected to a clutch. When the paddle is not in contact with the material, the motor runs normally. When the paddle contacts the material, the motor stops rotating, the detection device outputs a contact signal, and the power is cut off to stop rotation. When the material level drops and the resistance on the paddle disappears, the detection device returns to its original state by means of a torsion spring. The torque can be adjusted for materials of different specific gravities. The LOSEN LE series rotary paddle level controller is specially designed for monitoring the point level of solid materials in silos, vessels, and chutes. This level controller helps reduce overflow, material waste, and downtime by preventing silo overflow , chute blockage, and empty silos. The LE rotary paddle level controller is also suitable for plastics, food, chemicals, iron ore, pellets, and other solid materials. The LOSEN LE series rotary paddle level controller eliminates the motor failures most commonly found in conventional rotary paddle controllers. When material is added, the motor is de-energized and shut down without entering a parking state. This reduces wear and operating temperature, thereby extending motor life. This controller has fewer moving parts, three sets of drive bearings and seals, and a lubricated gear assembly. This gives the LE series the most reliable control capability on the market.

Operating Principle

The paddle of the rotary paddle level switch is coupled to the clutch through the drive shaft. When the paddle is not in contact with the material, the motor keeps running normally. When the paddle contacts the material, resistance is generated and the motor stops rotating. The detection device outputs a contact signal and simultaneously cuts off the power to stop rotation. When the material level drops, the resistance on the paddle disappears, and the detection device operates by torque, which is adjustable.

Suitable Applications                                                                                                                                                                                        Suitable for chemical, pharmaceutical, feed, cement, food, and metallurgical industries.

 

Features

1.Imported motor with reliable performance, capable of continuous operation over long periods.                                                                                                                     

2.Unique oil seal design prevents dust from penetrating along the shaft.                       

3.Stable and reliable torque, with adjustable torque.                                                   

4.When the paddle is subjected to excessive load, the motor automatically slips without damage.                                                                                                           

5.Connection specifications, paddles, and lengths can all be customized.

Product Dimensions and Parameters

Electrical Parameters

■ As shown in the figure, the rotary paddle switch should not be installed below the material discharge opening. If this cannot be avoided, a protective plate should be installed above the paddle to protect it from material impact damage and to prevent false actuation.
■ To prevent rainwater from penetrating into the junction box in outdoor environments, the cable entry should be installed vertically downward during horizontal installation. The cable fixing nutm ust be tightened securely. If conditions permit, a rain cover may be added.
■ When the assembly hole is smaller than the paddle width, the paddle can be removed before assembly. Before reassembly, apply anaerobic adhesive to the threaded mating surfaces to prevent the paddle from loosening during operation.
■ Confirm that the power supply voltage matches the voltage marked on the rotary paddle switch.                                                              ■ Confirm whether the installation method is horizontal or vertical.
