Magnetic Floats
The MS magnetic float products are comprised of buoyant materials containing a built-in magnet (s) and
are used in conjunction with our LS Level Sensor series. Choose from various styles, dimensions and
buoyant materials such as Polyamide (PA), Polypropylene (PP), Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) and
Stainless Steel (V2A) depending on your application.

Series Datasheet – Magnetic Floats
Material
• Water absorption
Only 0.1% water absorption gives PP Floats excellent buoyancy
• Resistance
Resistant to many chemical solves, bases and acids
• Many applications
Excellent choice for water-level sensors, automotive applications (e.g. brake fluid reservoirs) and
manufacturing and plant equipment applications
• Resistance for many chemicals
Ideal solution in fuel tanks, oil containers and many more
• Very high strength-to-weight ratio
Shock and abrasion resistant as well as capable of enduring a 5 bar pressure (73 PSI or 0.5 Mpa)
• Acceptable for high and low temperature applications
Under certain conditions temperature resistance up to 120°C, stable as low as -40°C
• Resistance to Oil and Fuels
Minimal absorption of gasoline, benzene, alcohol and toluene (consult engineering for details)
• Mechanical Strength
Floats are ebonite (very strong hard rubber) suitable for insertion of metals or magnets within the NBR
• Pressure Resistance
Stable buoyancy is achieved with specific gravities up to 0.3kg/cm³, and negligible water absorption
with pressures up to 3 Mpa (30 bar)
• Almost no dimensional change
Minimal dimensional effects particularly when measuring Cp‘s and Cpk‘s
• High Temperatures
Resistant for high temperatures (>160°C), making them an ideal float switch magnet for fluid level
sensing in the Food and Beverage Industry
• Pressure Resistance
Stainless Steel Floats have a hollow buoyant structure combined with their strengths makes them an
excellent choice for use in high pressure tans
• Magnet fully contained within the float
Actuator magnet is contained within the float therefore fully protected from the liquid material
