The versaplast plastic material used in LS-7 series level switches is a unique material, which is compatible with various fluids that include solvents and oils. With the use of versaplast plastic materials, the new version of LS-7 series sensors can conveniently handle corrosive fluid applications and increased temperatures. The LS-7 robust point level switches are certified by CE, CUL and UL and are suitable for use in anti-freeze and methylene tanks and can also be used for low hydraulic monitoring, low coolant for off-highway transportation and vehicle applications.
The Gems sensors with the new LS-7 series version of side-mount level switches are made suitable for a wide range of applications and fluids. The LS-7 version switches have the specifications of about 100 psi pressure capability and a 1.25 in. float curve in restricted spaces. The other sensor versions from Gems include externally and internally installed versions, and US or metric standards.
Kevin Castonguay, company’s Product Marketing Manager, said that with the introduction of the versaplast LS-7, Gems has expanded its offering of side-mount switch products in a broad range. Castonguay added that a reliable and robust solution for a range of OEM applications in the market is achieved by the use of enhanced versaplast plastic material.
