 Tuffy® II Compact & Full-Featured Side-Mounted Float Level Control with Electric Switch   Printer Friendly Version
The Tuffy® II Liquid Level Switches are float-actuated devices designed for horizontal mounting in a tank or vessel through threaded or flanged pipe connections. The compact size allows for installation in small vessels, while its many features provide a variety of application uses. The single switch mechanism is available in SPDT or DPDT forms on units designed for fixed or adjustable, narrow or wide differential and interface service levels.
Operating Principle Features Industries Options Downloads Approvals
 
The Tuffy II achieves switching action through the use of repelling magnets on the float assembly and the switch mechanism. Separating the two magnets is a nonmagnetic pressure barrier.

The float follows the liquid level as it changes, causing the attached float magnet to move into the field of the switch magnet. The like poles of these magnets repell each other causing the switch magnet to change position, actuating the switch.
