SICK Vibrating Level Switch Series Horizontal, Threaded, Vertical Mounting, Plastic and Stainless Steel Housing, ATEX LBV310

The SICK LBV310 Series Vibrating Level Switch is a versatile sensor built for level measurement of bulk materials across various industrial applications such as silos, hoppers, and storage tanks. Integrating horizontal, threaded, and vertical mounting options, LBV310 supports reliable level detection in demanding environments with temperatures ranging from -50°C to 150°C. The robust construction uses plastic and stainless steel housing materials that ensure durability and resistance to harsh process conditions.

Its piezo-electrically energized tuning fork vibrates at resonance frequency and signals material presence by detecting frequency changes due to contact with bulk material. This sensor is highly immune to deposit formation, ensuring accurate operation without frequent maintenance. Certified for use in hazardous areas (ATEX, 2G Ex ia IIC T6), it serves safely in explosive atmospheres.

The device is compatible with supply voltages up to 253 V AC and 55 V DC with a maximum current of 300 mA, providing integration flexibility with existing control systems. With a maximum operating pressure of 25 bar, it supports a wide range of industrial processes.

This switch enables easy installation and commissioning without the need for calibration, saving operational time. Its maintenance-free design further reduces downtime and enhances process reliability. Applications include level monitoring in dust hoppers, coal bunkers, silos for aggregates and raw materials, cement silos, and biomass storage, among others.

The product supports testing in place without removal, reducing installation time. Available with various thread and flange connections to suit diverse mounting needs. Models with tube and rope extensions are also available for vertical mounting at greater sensing ranges.

Widely employed for overfill protection and level measurement in bulk solid handling industries.

Produced in Germany, the LBV310 combines advanced technology with rugged design to meet stringent industrial standards. This product is ideal for electrical, automation, and process industries requiring high repeatability and robust performance in level sensing.
