Principle Operation of Vibrating level switch
A stainless steel tuning fork is driven by piezo ceramic elements, causing it to vibrate at its resonant frequency. When the material to be detected covers the fork, vibrations are damped. The changed vibration is sensed electronically, and the processed signal is used to switch a relay for indication or control purposes.
