Electromechanical Level

Electromechanical Level Measurement

Endress+Hauser’s electromechanical level devices measure by lowering a motor‑driven cable/tape with a weight into the vessel. Contact is sensed by a change in tension or travel; distance is converted to level, and the weight rewinds. Surface contact keeps readings reliable in tall, dusty silos and uneven bulk solids.

Useful where ultrasonic or radar struggle with low dielectric, vapor, or erratic echoes. Operation is largely independent of conductivity, foam, and bulk density. Long measuring ranges and small nozzles ease retrofits. No dielectric‑specific setup; one device covers many materials with consistent accuracy.

Portfolio: compact or remote drives, rope/tape options, and weights for powders, granules, coarse solids, or viscous media. Rugged mechanics, sealed housings, and hazardous‑area approvals suit harsh sites. Electronics provide 4–20 mA/HART or discrete outputs, alarm relays, and fail‑safe. Auto‑cycle intervals, blockage detection, and dust‑tight connections reduce maintenance.

Typical uses: inventory and control in cement, minerals, plastics, grain, wood chips, and coal. They also measure selected sticky liquids or slurries with suitable weights. For highly adhesive or fast‑moving media, non‑contact radar may be preferable.
