The remaining fuel in the fuel tank is detected using a float floating on the liquid level.
These liquid level sensors have been developed for applications for motorcycles, automobiles and industrial equipment, and are
compatible with high reliability and low cost, based on the results of their use in automobiles worldwide.
We have continued production for more than 40 years and have a track record of mass production of more than hundreds of millions of units. (Cars, motorcycles, agricultural machinery, construction machinery, ships, etc.)
We have a lineup of level sensors for various fuels (ethanol-containing fuels, sulfur-containing fuels, etc.) and the environment.
| Features | TYPE name |
| Thin type / for automobiles | FU-11 |
| Small type / for motorcycles | FU-12 |
| Sulfur-containing fuel / for automobiles | FU-14 |
| For ethanol-containing fuel | SSF |
Due to the fluctuation of the liquid level, the resistance value fluctuates as the float moves up and down.
This resistance value change is output to the fuel meter.
【FU-11】
［Application Example］Fuel Level Sensor for Automobiles
It can be mainly installed on automobile and large motorcycle pumping modules. The sensor chassis thickness is as thin as 10.8mm, and the output resolution is Max47Step and high resolution.
【FU-12】
［Application Example］Fuel Level Sensor for Motorcycles
It is an in-vehicle sensor that detects the level of fuel, and is usually mounted on a small motorcycle pump module. The sensor cabinet size is small, 27mm horizontal × 37mm vertical × 13.7mm thin.
【FU-14】
［Application Example］Fuel Level Sensor for Automobiles
It can be mainly installed on automobile and large motorcycle pumping modules. Sulfuration resistant performance is improved for FU-11.
【SSF】
［Application Example］Fuel Level Sensor for Motorcycles
It is usually mounted on a motorcycle pump module. The current-carrying part has a sealed structure, enabling use in ethanol fuels.
【NCF】
［Application Example］Fuel Level Sensor for Automobiles
This is an in-vehicle sensor that enables liquid level detection for a variety of fuels. Uses a linear output Hall IC to select the analog type or digital type voltage output characteristic.
Due to the fluctuation of the liquid level, the voltage value fluctuates as the float moves up and down. This voltage change is output to the fuel meter. The magnet that works with the arm attached to the float rotates around the Hall IC, which changes the magnetic flux and the voltage output from the IC.
A leed switch is inserted inside the stem, and when the float goes up and down in response to the floatingness of the liquid level, the leed switch is operated by the magnetic force of the magnet built into the float and becomes ON.
When the float is separated, the magnetic field is excluded, the elasticity of the leed fragment opens the contact, and becomes OFF.
【LG1：1 wire type】
［Application Example］Low fuel warning
Because the sensor body is used as part of the wiring available liquids are insulators such as gasoline, light oil, and kerosene.
【LG1：2 wire type】
［Application Example］Drain pan full warning
Since the wiring is insulated from the sensor body, it can be used not only in the insulator, but also in the conductive liquid such as water.
