KOBOLD FPS-5-1-00P Heavy-Duty Industrial Paddle Flow Switch
The KOBOLD FPS-5-1-00P is a highly reliable mechanical paddle flow switch designed to monitor liquid flow velocities within industrial piping systems. Built to withstand rugged factory environments, this instrument provides precise flow/no-flow detection to protect equipment such as pumps, chillers, and pipelines from dry running or flow blockages. Its classic, low-friction mechanism ensures high repeatability and long-term operational stability.

Reliable Mechanical Flow Protection
The core functionality of the FPS-5-1-00P rests on fluid force pushing against a calibrated mechanical paddle. As liquid moves through the pipe, the paddle deflects, actuating a high-precision microswitch to close or open an electrical circuit. Dual adjustment internal mechanisms allow sales engineers and plant operators to fine-tune the exact switching points based on flow rate requirements, making it completely immune to electromagnetic interference.
