SICK LBV310 Series Vibrating Level Switch Vibrating Level Switch, Vertical/Horizontal G1 1/2 Thread, Plastic, Stainless - LBV310-XXAGDTKMX

OverviewAt a glanceTough device design Several housing materials and electrical outputs available Immune to deposit formation Commissioning without filling Process temperature up to 250 °C Very high repeatability ATEX versions (1D/2D/1G/2G) available Tube-extended version (LBV330) up to 6 m and rope extensions version (LBV320) up to 80 m available for vertical mountingYour BenefitEasy installation and commissioning, no calibration necessary Easy operation and integration, saves time Maintenance-free sensor, reduces downtime Testing in place possible – no mounting required, which reduces installation time Flexible and tough system for a multitude of applications Solutions for vertically mounted switches in difficult installation conditions and surroundings Level monitoring in dust hopper Level monitoring in silos Level monitoring in fuel tankThe rugged, reliable, and highly accurate vibrating level switches in the LBV300 product family signal full, empty, or demand states in bulk materials. The tuning fork reacts to changes in density, and thus operates independently of silo shape or the tank material used. The rugged stainless steel tuning fork is piezo-electrically energized and vibrates at its resonance frequency when it is covered by bulk materials. This change is detected and converted into a switching signal. While the LBV310 compact device is used for horizontal mounting and to signal full states, the LBV320 cable-extended switch and the LBV330 tube-extended switch are used for vertical mounting in silos and bridge sensing ranges of up to 80 m and 6 m respectively. With a wide variety of thread and flange connections, and several electronic variants, the LBV330 offers a solution for almost all applications, even in potentially explosive atmospheres.ApplicationsLevel measurement in the material container Overfill protection for sawdust bunkers and silos Level measurement in the material container Overfill protection for aggregates and raw meal silos Level monitoring in the coal hopper Level monitoring in the dust hopper Level monitoring in the cement silo Overfill protection for coal bunkers/silos Overfill protection for the lime silo Ash hopper level monitoring in coal-fired power plants Overfill protection for biomass bunkers and silos Sorbent material storage silo Overflow protection for biomass bunkers and silos (organic waste incineration) Overflow protection when stocking reagents for flue gas purification Ash hopper level monitoring Level measurement during material handling Silo levels at a blast furnace Clogging in a compartment hopper Dust silo filling level at a dust conveying system in the off-gas system Level monitoring in bauxite or aluminum stores Level monitoring in collection containers of electrolysis cellNoteProduct details cover the whole product family.
