Malema Adjustable and Fixed Set Point Flow Switches feature a piston-style working principle and come in single-pole, single-throw (SPST) and single-pole, dual-throw (SPDT) configurations. Malema Flow Switch offerings are divided into the following categories:
• Fixed Set Point Inline Flow Switch
• Adjustable Flow Switch (Right Angle Flow)
• Explosion-Proof Flow Switch
Malema Flow Switches are used to determine if the fluid or gas flow rate is above or below a certain point. This value (the set point) can be fixed or adjustable depending on the type of flow switch. When the set point is reached, the response can be the actuation of an electric circuit. When the flow switch is actuated, it will stay in that condition until the flow rate moves back from the set point by some amount.
These flow switches are available in a variety of flow ranges, sizes and materials. Along with its extremely high level of accuracy and repeatability, the salient feature of buying a Malema Flow Switch is that it comes with a custom-calibration option that can be scaled to precisely suit the needs of your application. Additionally, Malema offers pre-calibrated set point ranges for applications that do not require a custom calibrated range.
The inline flow switch and bypass flow switch configurations, along with standard and custom fittings options, make Malema Flow Switches a versatile flow monitoring solution for various applications that involve the handling and transfer of industrial gases and liquids. Additionally, our small compact design features female NPT ports , providing a smaller profile that fits better in envelope. Malema Flow Switches are also available in explosion-proof designs so that they can be installed in potentially hazardous locations.
Malema's customer support and application engineers are well trained and are ready to offer you the guidance when requested to select the right product to suit the application.
The M-50X Explosion Proof Series low flow, flow switches monitor increasing and decreasing flow. They utilize a single moving part which responds to fluid (liquid or gas) flowing within a system. The flow monitors operate only when fluid is positively established.
The M-55 low flow, flow switches monitor increasing and decreasing flow. They utilize a single moving part which responds to fluid (liquid or gas) flowing within a system. These switches are suitable for a wide range of applications in industrial, biomedical, and OEM products. The flow monitors operate only when fluid flow is positively established.
The M-60 Series low flow, flow switches monitor increasing and decreasing flow. They utilize a single moving part which responds to fluid (liquid or gas) flowing within a system. These switches are suitable for a wide range of applications in industrial, biomedical, and OEM products. The flow monitors operate only when fluid is positively established.
The M-60X Explosion Proof Series switches monitor increasing and decreasing flow. They utilize a single moving part which responds to fluid (liquid or gas) flowing within a system (universal mountable units are fitted with a reset spring). These switches are suitable for a wide range of applications in industrial, biomedical, and OEM products. The flow switch operates only when fluid is positively established.
The operating principle is based on a free floating magnetic piston which responds only to the motion of fluids within the line, not to static or system pressures. In the presence of fluid flow, controlled movement of the piston actuates an external hermetically sealed reed switch. This switch can be used to actuate audible or visual alarms, as well as relays, or other controls.
The M-701 offers low cost flow monitoring with a variety of switch actuation points and low pressure drop. M-701 is designed for ease of maintanance, as the bonnet and shuttle can be removed, leaving the housing and pipe work connections intact. All wetted parts are
polypropylene or stainless steel, making this switch ideal for a wide range of chemical and temperature requirements.
The Malema M-200-F adjustable flow switch has an all-PFA body. It is ideal for semiconductor manufacturing and high-purity applications, as well as aggressive chemistries.
