Straight Type Extension Shaft for Rotary Paddle Level Sensor
ROTARY PADDLE TYPE LEVEL SENSOR
Rotary Paddle Type Level Sensor
Stock Code: 6 S1 M2 VDC
Motorized Level Sensor (Rotary Paddle Switch) is a durable and reliable point level sensor used to determine the level of bulk, powder, or granular materials in industrial facilities, storage silos, and bunkers. By mechanically measuring the raw material level under harsh plant conditions, it prevents the system from overflowing or running empty.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Motorized level sensors feature a mechanical detection system that eliminates the risk of error associated with electronic sensors, especially in dusty and variable environments.
How Does the System Work?
Free Rotation: When there is no solid material (powder/granule) inside the silo or bunker, the paddle at the tip of the sensor rotates freely and continuously with the help of the motor shaft.
Material Obstruction: When the material level reaches the point where the sensor is located, the rising raw material physically blocks and jams the rotation of the paddle.
Signal and Power Interruption: When the paddle stops, the motor inside the sensor rotates slightly around itself, triggering a mechanical micro-switch. With this triggering, the motor's own power is cut off (thereby protecting the motor's lifespan), and a "level reached" signal (alarm or stop command) is sent externally.
Restarting: When the material level drops below the paddle again, a spring-loaded mechanism returns the motor to its original position; the motor starts running again, and the paddle resumes its rotation.
ADVANTAGES AND USAGE AREAS
Used for the low (min) and high (max) level detection of all raw materials in solid, powder, and granular forms:
- Construction & Mining: Cement, gypsum, lime, sand, calcite, feldspar, dolomite, and mineral ores.
- Food & Agriculture: Flour, grain, cereal, feed, and seed silos.
- Plastics & Chemistry: Plastic granules, PVC powders, and chemical raw material hoppers.
