Dwyer AFS Series Adjustable Flow Switches are externally adjustable piston-type flow switches for oils, liquids, and gases. This Series offers an infinite number of flow settings from 0.5 to 20 GPM.
Shuttle or piston flow switches are sensors with an electrical contact output at a specific flow rate. Models are used with oil, air, water, and gases. Applications include oil flow control, low flow detection in cooling lines, and high-pressure lubrication systems. Rugged construction and excellent chemical compatibility simplify flow/no flow detection.
Dwyer AFS Series Features
- Externally adjustable flow set point
- Offers a number of flow settings at pressures up to 1000 psig, with low-pressure drop and precise repeatability
Application
- Protecting machine tools from coolant flow failure
- Protecting bearings from loss of lubricant
- Assuring proper air flow
- Water or compatible liquid control
- Oil flow control
- Control of gas flows
