The Endress+Hauser FTE20-AA13AB41 is a high-quality rotary paddle point level switch from the renowned Soliswitch series, designed for economical and reliable level detection in bulk solid materials . Currently in stock, this model offers a quick and robust solution for full, empty, and demand alarm applications in silos and bins . Whether you are in the food industry, building materials, or chemicals, the FTE20-AA13AB41 provides a cost-effective and durable answer to your point level measurement challenges.
Product Overview
The FTE20-AA13AB41 operates on a simple and proven mechanical principle. A synchronous motor drives a paddle which rotates continuously. When the bulk solid material reaches the paddle and stops its rotation, a microswitch is activated, signaling the presence of the material. When the material level drops, the paddle is freed and resumes rotating, resetting the switch . This straightforward mechanism ensures high reliability and low maintenance.
This specific model features a compact design with a robust polycarbonate (PC) housing and a 100mm paddle length, making it ideal for confined spaces . Its optimized polymer construction is outstandingly robust and suitable for use in dust explosive areas, adhering to the latest international standards .
