Plug-in turbine flow sensor for drinking water

Type VTY10

The VTY10 plug-in turbine flow sensor has been specially developed for use in drinking water and water treatment systems. Thanks to its compact design, the sensor can be easily integrated into fittings and is ideal for applications requiring reliable and precise water flow measurement.

Thanks to high-quality components and precise bearing technology, the sensor impresses with its high measuring accuracy, low series variation, and long service life. Its design also enables reliable detection of small flow rates starting at around 1 liter per minute.

Advantages of the VTY10 flow sensor

• Precise flow measurement for drinking water applications

• Very low series dispersion with stable pulse rate

• High measuring accuracy even with low flow rates

• Extremely durable bearings made of sapphire and carbide

• Compact design for easy integration into fittings

• Proven in numerous industrial series applications

Typical areas of application

The turbine flow sensor is particularly suitable for applications in water technology and drinking water supply:

• Drinking water tap detection

• water treatment systems

• Leak detection in water pipes

• Flow monitoring in fittings and devices

Structure and functionality

The plug-in flow sensor consists of two central components:

• turbine use

• Hall Effect Sensor

The fluid flowing through the sensor is evenly distributed onto the impeller via a guide vane. This causes the turbine wheel to rotate. The rotational movement of the magnetically equipped impeller is then detected by the Hall effect sensor.

This movement generates a flow-proportional frequency signal (square wave signal) that can be used for further evaluation.

The even flow distribution reduces mechanical stress on the bearings. This minimizes wear and tear and ensures a particularly long service life for the sensor.

High-quality bearing technology for a long service life

The turbine wheel bearing is made of particularly robust materials such as sapphire and carbide. These materials are characterized by very high wear resistance and ensure consistently stable measurement performance—even during long-term use in industrial applications.
