Working Principles of Tuning Fork Level Switch:
A vibrating tuning fork level switch operates on the principle of resonance frequency detection. The device consists of a tuning fork sensor that continuously vibrates at its natural resonant frequency when not in contact with any material.
When the fork comes in contact with liquid or solid material, the vibration is dampened due to the change in the surrounding medium’s density. This frequency shift is sensed by an electronic circuit, which then converts the change into an electrical output signal.
This output can be used for high or low-level indication, pump control, or overflow/empty tank protection. Since the technology is independent of dielectric constant, conductivity, or pressure, it provides reliable performance even in challenging process conditions involving viscous liquids, powders, or granular materials.
