RELIABLE, PLC COMPATIBLE, PROVES FLOW
Flow Sensor (Flow Monitor) for Grease or Oil
|
The G.P. Reeves FS Flow Sensors are designed to detect the movement of lubricant and thus verify delivery
of lubricant in a dispensing system. Models are available to detect the flow of medium to heavy oils and for NLGI #0 to #3
grease. When properly applied, these sensors will not resond to air flowing at a similar velocity to the lubricant. This
ability to "detect" air in the lines can dramtically increase the reliabilty of any dispensing system. Mounting a flow
sensor as near as possible to the dispense point, verifies operation of all of the other equpment in the system, and
verifies movement of lubricant to the dispense point.
Patent
G.P. Reeves Flow Sensors are manufactured under US patent number 4,858,645.
The sensing element consists of a sealed electronic inductive proximity circuit, non-magnetic steel ball,
and a precision-machined nylon seat for high speed, accurate, reliable operation.
Compact Design
About 7" long, 2" high, and 1 ¼" wide, and can be installed on a
base that is only ¾" high. Single sensors mount on bases similar to photo. Multiple sensors
can be installed on multi-station bases on 1 ¾" centers.

Adjustable Models
Adjustable models allow the sensor to be matched to the viscosity of a wide range of lubricating media.
By adjusting the pressure on an internal bias spring, the sensor is set up to respond to the velocity of the dispensing
system, and for quick reset time. A tamper-resistant cover for the adjusting screw is provided.
Fixed Models
Non-adjustable or "fixed" flow sensors are designed for use with heavy oil or light (NLGI #1 or lighter) grease only.
FEATURES
- Mount in any Position
- Base mounted for quick change with minimal downtime..
- 3000 PSI Pressure Rating (206 Bar)
- Ambient Temperature Range: 32 to 140 F. (0 to 60 C)
- Electrical connection: micro-style (the sensor has the male pins)
- "Power On" Green LED illuminated indicates that operating voltage is present
- "No Flow" Amber LED illuminated indicates that there is no (or low) flow
- Flow range (NLGI#2 grease): .5 to 20 cc per second
