Rotonivo® - RN 3003 Rotary Paddle Level Switch

Brand: UWT GmbH

The Rotonivo® RN 3003 Rotary Paddle Level Switch is a compact, reliable, and easy-to-maintain rotary paddle level switch for point-level detection in typical bulk solid environments. It leverages a slow-turning paddle mechanism that physically stalls upon material contact, driving an internal torque detection assembly to toggle from “uncovered” to “covered.” By focusing on mechanical detection, it remains unaffected by changes in product dielectric properties or moderate bridging.

Core Advantages

Mechanical Simplicity
Less prone to electronic calibration complexities, straightforward to troubleshoot.

Robust Enclosure
IP66/IP67, sealed bearings, suitable for dusty or mildly abrasive conditions.

Minimal Ongoing Calibration
The sensor’s stall torque principle rarely requires recalibration, only occasional checks if product density changes significantly.

Versatile Integration: Typical outputs (relay or transistor) easily connect to PLCs, local alarms, or SCADA systems, with optional fail-safe modes.

Operators can enjoy consistent, long-term performance from the RN 3003 for more efficient material handling operations, reducing overfill or shortage risks, and allowing facility staff to focus on continuous production and product quality.

 
Features
  • Mechanically extremely resilient for heavy and coarse-grained bulk materials
  • Simple, reliable and maintenance-free all-rounder in bulk solids applications
  • Plug and play level limit switch without calibration
