Kobold NKP-64011 Product Overview
The Kobold NKP-64011 is an economical and highly dependable side-mounted plastic float level switch engineered for precise liquid level monitoring in small tanks, vessels, and OEM machinery. Molded from robust polypropylene, this compact device features a space-saving M16 bulkhead connection and an integrated 1-meter cable. It offers reliable chemical resistance against non-aggressive and mild chemical solutions, making it an excellent fit for water treatment setups, cooling loops, and industrial fluid reservoirs.

Flexible Reversible Contact Logic
The NKP-64011 operates via a highly efficient hinged float deflection design that supports both normally open (N/O) and normally closed (N/C) electrical circuits. Instead of requiring separate model variants, the operator can seamlessly invert the switch functionality simply by rotating the device housing 180 degrees about its horizontal axis during installation. As the liquid level shifts past the installation boundary, an embedded permanent magnet inside the float moves past a hermetically sealed reed switch, triggering an immediate and repeatable state change.
Compact Footprint for Space-Constrained Equipment
Specifically optimized for tight industrial footprints and OEM integration, the M16 bulkhead mounting profile allows the NKP-64011 to be secured quickly to thin-walled tanks or specialized plastic housings with a tightening torque of 4 N·m. Thanks to its completely encapsulated mechanical structure and lack of complex moving parts, the sensor operates maintenance-free over its entire service life. The included 1-meter PVC-clad cable simplifies direct integration to local terminal blocks, compact control modules, or PLC digital inputs.
