VIBRATING TUNING FORK LEVEL SENSORS ARE PIEZOELECTRIC DEVICES
WITH TWO BLADES. THE BLADES OF THE SENSOR VIBRATE IF THERE IS
NO MATERIAL COVERING THE ACTIVE ELEMENTS.
WORKING
When the blade is covered, the vibration is dampened by material and an electronic
circuit forces a relay to switch indicating a covered condition. When the blades are
uncovered, the vibration will restart and the relay will indicate an uncovered condition.
PRINCIPLE
In application, the vibrating blades are driven by a piezo crystal excited by the
electronics system. The driving signal changes the physical shape of the piezo crystal which
causes the mechanical vibration of the blades, much like a piezo type loudspeaker. The
perfectly balanced mechanical system then resonates at the frequency of the drive signal. The
blade design is carefully balanced to provide a very low loss “tip sensitive” vibrating system
and requires a very small amount of energy to keep the system vibrating.
A second piezo crystal is used to detect the vibration of the blades, in turn signalling
to the electronics if the blades are covered
