NOHKEN INC R7 Rotating-puddle Level Sensor
Manufacturer: NOHKEN INC
Model: R7
Main application
Integration into plastic processing machinery and cereal processing machinery
Main feature
Extremely compact
Compact and lightweight with miniature motors and plastic components.
Easy torque adjustment
Remove the cover, and change the spring position. That:s all need to be done for the best torque.
“Slip” mechanism
A durable magnetic “Slip” mechanism protects the motor from excessive force applied to the paddle.
Easy maintenance
You can remove the internal components while keeping the sensor mounted on the tank.
Principle of Operation
A paddle inside the hopper slowly rotates to detect material presence.
Here is your text completely rewritten in active voice, removing any remaining passive structures:
When no material is present, the motor uses a slip mechanism to turn the spindle and paddle. However, when material blocks the paddle, the motor rotates around the fixed spindle and pushes a pin that activates a microswitch. The microswitch stops the motor and sends an output signal.Once the material clears, the spring pushes the pin back, resets the microswitch, and the motor resumes rotation. Additionally, if material flow pushes the spindle, the slip mechanism allows the spindle to rotate freely, protecting the motor from damage.
