Choose the right Flow Switches to monitor flow rates in your discreet flow applications
Types of Flow Switches:
Piston Flow Switches

- Piston Flow Switches are for flow/no-flow detection for low flow rates in liquids and gases
- Models for liquid flow rates as low as 50 cc/min. and gas flow rates as low as 2 SCFH.
- Small, compact housings with port sizes from 1/4" NPT
- Precision built for superior accuracy
Typical Uses & Applications:
- To protect your expensive electronic equipment from coolant flow failure on: Laser Heads, Welders, Power Supplies, High Speed Spindles, X-Ray Tubes and Semiconductor Equipment
- To assure proper lubrication flow to critical bearings or gears to prevent system downtime on: Presses, Rotating Equipment, Conveyors, Machine Tools and Robotics
- To ensure system integrity in processing and dispensing equipment on: Water Purification and Filtering, Beverage Dispensing, Chemical Additives, Gas Sampling and Distilling

- Shuttle flow switches are for flow/no-flow detection for moderate to high liquid flow rates
- Models for flow rate settings from .5 GPM to 100.0 GPM
- Rugged housings with port sizes ranging from 3/4" NPT to 3" NPT
- Efficient flow paths assure low line pressure drop at full flow
Typical Uses & Applications:
- To protect bearings or gears from loss of lubricant flow. Switches can reduce maintenance costs on: Oil Separators, Fuel Systems, Pumps, Compressors and Presses
- To provide instant, automatic shutdown if coolant flow falls off in electronics or machinery, such as: Heat Exchangers, Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment, Induction Furnaces, Radio Transmitters
- To assure efficient operation of process systems, including: Water Filtration and Reverse Osmosis, Chlorinators, De-icers, Sterilizers and Evaporators

Paddle Flow Switches
![Flow-Switches-Paddle Flow-Switches-Paddle](/images/default-source/default-album/landing-pages/product-overview/flow/flow-switches/flow-switches-paddle.jpg?sfvrsn=54bb2b20_2)
- Paddle flow switches are for flow/no-flow detection in large line sizes
- Engineered for positive liquid flow detection at pressures up to 2000 psig (138 bar)
- Unique, patented cam design assures low pressure drop and does not require bellows, seals, or mechanical linkages
- Minimum in-line restriction; paddle pivots to move out of liquid path
Typical Uses & Applications:
- To assure flow and/or leak detection in large, high pressure lines in: Compressors, Heat Exchangers, Turbines, Engines, Boilers and Chillers
- To protect high- or low-pressure pumps from cavitation, sense critical reverse flow and protect: Valves, Pumps and Regulators
