Literature Describes New Gems Shock Cushioned Liquid Level Switch Literature is available describ- ing the LS-38760 level switch from Gems Sensors Division. De- signed with a "shock-absorber" cushioned float and cushion- mounted switch, it is ideal for use wherever liquids are turbu- lent, and where there is excessive vibration in fuel or chemical ap- plications in tank trucks and mo- bile construction equipment. The switch offers double pro- tection with O-rings to cushion the float, and with internal rub- ber grommets to cushion the reed switch element. The switch is lightweight, featuring an alumi- num stem. Mounting is available for electrical grounding. The float is made of Buna N; float cushions are made of Viton A. It withstands temperatures to 180 F and pres- sures to 150 psi. The simple design of this switch incorporates only one moving part, the float. This magnetic float will only respond to the surface of the liquid. The output signal is a di- rect level measurement as opposed to inferred or indirect measure- ment as is found in alternative devices.
