Shuttle Type Flow Switch Operating Principle

Shuttle-Type-FS-General-Operating-Principle1img

As liquid flow increases to the actuation setting, a magnet-equipped shuttle is displaced. When displaced by fluid flow, this shuttle actuates a hermetically sealed, SPDT or SPST reed switch within the unit stem. A compression spring or gravity provides shuttle return when flow decreases.
