Side Mounted Water Level Float Switch 55mm

Side Mounted Water Level Float Switch 55mm

A side mounted water level float switch (55 mm) is a mechanical water level sensor designed to detect liquid level changes inside a tank or container from the side rather than the top. It consists of a buoyant float attached to a rigid stem or tube that protrudes into the tank through a side opening. As the water level rises or falls, the float moves vertically along the stem, triggering an internal switch. The 55 mm dimension refers to the active sensing length of the float or the body diameter/type, making it suitable for small to medium-sized tanks. This type of switch is typically used for automatic pump control, overflow protection, and water level monitoring in residential, agricultural, and industrial systems.
