Electromagnetic Level Indicators

Electromagnetic Hydraulic Level Indicators

Flowfit supplies a range of electromagnetic hydraulic level indicators, manufactured by Filtrec for applications where hydraulic reservoir levels require electrical monitoring as well as clear fluid level indication.

Electromagnetic level indicators can provide an electrical signal when the hydraulic fluid reaches a specified level, depending on the model selected. This makes them particularly useful in machinery, hydraulic power units and automated systems where low or high oil levels need to be detected as part of the machine control or warning system.

Combining reservoir monitoring with electrical signalling can help operators identify changes in hydraulic oil level before they lead to system performance or maintenance issues.

Electrical Hydraulic Oil Level Monitoring

Traditional hydraulic level indicators provide a visual reference at the reservoir. An electromagnetic level indicator adds the ability to electrically detect a defined fluid level, making it suitable for applications where monitoring needs to extend beyond manual inspection.

Depending on the product configuration, the electrical output can be incorporated into a machine control, warning or monitoring system.

This can be particularly valuable in equipment where the hydraulic reservoir is not continuously visible to the operator or where automatic indication of fluid level changes is required.

Common Applications for Electromagnetic Level Indicators

Electromagnetic hydraulic level indicators are suited to:

• Hydraulic power packs
• Automated hydraulic systems
• Industrial machinery
• Hydraulic oil reservoirs
• Agricultural equipment
• Construction and plant machinery
• Mobile hydraulic equipment
• Manufacturing machinery
• Material handling systems
• Hydraulic presses
• Machine tools
• Production and processing equipment

Key Features of Electromagnetic Level Indicators

Depending on the Filtrec product selected, key features and benefits can include:

• Hydraulic reservoir fluid level monitoring

• Visual indication on applicable models
• Helps identify abnormal hydraulic oil levels
• Suitable for hydraulic tanks and reservoirs
• Supports preventative maintenance
• Range of mounting and configuration options
• Suitable for industrial and mobile hydraulic systems
• Manufactured by Filtrec

Why Use an Electromagnetic Level Indicator?

An electrical hydraulic oil level indicator can provide additional monitoring capability where a standard visual indicator alone is not sufficient.

For example, an electrical signal can help alert operators or control equipment when the fluid level reaches a specified point, potentially allowing action to be taken before low oil levels affect hydraulic system operation.

This makes electromagnetic indicators particularly relevant to automated equipment, remotely monitored machinery and systems where maintaining reservoir fluid levels is critical.

Choosing the Right Electromagnetic Level Indicator

When selecting an electromagnetic hydraulic level indicator, consider the reservoir dimensions, mounting centres, required switching position, electrical requirements, fluid compatibility and operating conditions.

The correct model should be selected to match both the physical reservoir arrangement and the electrical monitoring requirements of the machine.

For straightforward visual monitoring, Flowfit also supplies hydraulic level indicators, while dedicated fluid monitoring equipment is available for assessing hydraulic oil cleanliness and condition.
