FineTek SD Series Optical Level Switch

FineTek SD Series Optical Level Switch

Solid-state and virtually maintenance-free, the FineTek SD Series optical level switch is a compact, budget-friendly way to detect liquid presence in tanks, pipelines, and small vessels — with no moving parts to wear out over time.

How It Works

An infrared beam shines into the sensor’s prism tip. With no liquid present, total internal reflection sends the beam straight back to the receiver. Once liquid surrounds the tip, the beam refracts away into the liquid instead of returning — and the SD Series electronics detect that change to switch the output.

Fine-Tek BRD Diaphragm Pulse Valve for Dust Collector System
● GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TypeDiaphragm (pulse jet) valve for pneumatic dust collector systems
Working PrincipleValve body has 2 air chambers separated by a diaphragm, connected via a small air passage. When the pilot orifice opens, the upper chamber exhausts faster than air can refill it; the pressure drop lets the lower chamber’s higher pressure push the diaphragm up, releasing a sudden burst of air that inflates the fabric filter bag to shake off clinging dust. When the orifice closes, pressure equalizes and a coil spring returns the diaphragm to its closed position.
ApplicationPulse cleaning and filtering systems in dust collectors; also suitable for filter bags, filter barrels, flat bags, ceramic tubes, and filter bags for metal fiber
Body / Connection VariantsFemale thread (aluminum body); Quick fittings (aluminum body); Stainless steel (SUS304) female thread
Control / Mounting VariantsRemote type (pilot solenoid ordered/mounted separately) or Integrated type (solenoid valve mounted directly on valve body, with lead wire or DIN 43650A connector); single-diaphragm or dual-diaphragm construction
