M-55 Series Fixed Set Point Flow Switches from Malema

M-55 Series Fixed Set Point Flow Switches from Malema
The M-55 low flow, flow switches monitor increasing and decreasing flow. They utilize a single moving part which responds to fluid (liquid or gas) flowing within a system. These switches are suitable for a wide range of applications in industrial, biomedical, and OEM products. The flow monitors operate only when fluid flow is positively established.
