High Quality All Metal Paddle Flow Switches for Liquids - Made in the USA

KOBOLD PSR/PS all-metal paddle flow switches for liquids are made in the USA and are the ideal choice for applications requiring simple, economical, and reliable flow monitoring. They are used as a cost effective solution for a wide variety of applications all over the world. Common application areas include Chillers, Cooling and Lubricant Circuits, Pump Protection, Water Fire Suppression, Eye Wash Stations, Pipe Integrity Monitoring, and many more. The rugged build is designed for industrial use and can handle high pressures and temperatures and features an easily adjustable switchpoint.

Paddle Flow Switch Principle of Operation

The PSR/PS operates based on the force created as the media flow presses against the paddle placed within the path of the flow. The paddle is fitted at one end of a balance arm, which is in direct contact with a leaf spring. At the other end of the balance arm is a permanent magnet. This magnet actuates a reed contact located within a movable housing outside the media. The reed contact changes state depending upon the position of the permanent magnet and the switch housing. The status of the switch may then be used to monitor the flow.

Reed Switch: Contacts Normally Open or Normally Closed

The externally-adjustable reed switch on the PSR/PS allows the contacts to be set either normally open (N/O) or normally closed (N/C) with only a small switch adjustment.

Who Are We?

We are the industrial instrumentation partner of choice with comprehensive solutions for measuring what matters to you.

For over 40 years, KOBOLD has been a value-driven leader in process measurement and control solutions. We offer one of the industry’s broadest lines of sensors, switches, and transmitters to measure and control flow, pressure, level, and temperature.

We offer excellence in engineering, high value products, and exceptional customer partnerships that last beyond the sale. Because we design, manufacture, sell, and provide support for our products, you can be assured that you and your application are in expert hands.

Why Choose KOBOLD?

Our Approach: Partnership for the "Long Haul"

We aren’t just interested in selling you instrumentation. You are our priority. Trying to wade through the extensive technologies and options can be a bit intimidating. You don’t have to figure it out on your own. We are here to partner with you, providing free advice from our in-house engineering experts who have decades of collective experience.

We are old-fashion in our beliefs about what doing business should look like. We still have someone answering our phone who will quickly direct you to the right person. We still believe in delivering true value and not subpar quick-fix products that become headaches down the road. We build our products like we build our relationships, for the "long haul".

For certain large-scale projects, we are also able to provide demo instrumentation so you can be confident that our solution is the right fit for your application. We want our products to be the best fit as much as you do. There is no project too large or too small for us.

US Manufacturing Built on German Engineering

We believe that "Made in the USA" still means something. Our products are built with that in mind as we aim to exceed the standards and ideals of quality-focused US manufacturing. We offer the best of both worlds. German engineering is still known as being among the finest and we are proud to build some of the most innovative products in the world. We are also focused on sourcing practices that allow us to provide higher quality components, shorter lead times, and longer lasting products than other instrumentation manufacturers.

Comprehensive Product Line: We Don't Have to "Force a Fit"

We offer one of the industry’s broadest lines of sensors, switches, and transmitters to measure and control flow, pressure, level, and temperature.

We have historically set the bar for innovation and excellence, helping to shape the field of industrial instrumentation into what it is today. Our technologies offer a solution-oriented way to control the most diverse and complex variables and can be easily integrated into a wide variety of systems in many industrial and commerical sectors.

We will not try to sell you any instrumentation that isn’t ideally suited for your application. Because we are unique in the extensiveness of our product line, we don’t have to try and “force a fit” just to make a sale like other companies with limited product lines. In the event we do not have the right solution, we will do our best to point you in the right direction.

Unique/Difficult Applications & Customizations: We Do What They Can't

While we offer a wide variety of standard instrumentation, we are also able to handle unique, difficult, or challenging applications that others can not. Our familiarity with exotic materials allows us to offer solutions for variables that are frequently hard to accommodate. Because we are the manufacturer, we also have the flexibility of being able to provide customized solutions in certain circumstances, based on the exact application needs.
