BFS-20-O / BFS-20-OL Optical Oil Flow Switches


Barksdale BFS-20-O and BFS-20-OL switches combine optical flow indication with adjustable flow switching for liquids from 30 to 600 cSt. Typical uses include hydraulic systems, lubrication circuits, cooling systems and test equipment.

The O version covers a broad range of flows and process connections. The lower-cost OL version uses a G1/2 connection and three low-flow switching ranges. Pressure ratings differ between O and OL versions.

BFS-20-OLOil; 30–600 cSt; low cost0.5–1.7, 1.3–4 or 2.5–8 L/minG1/216 barNO or SPDT
Measuring Range:

O: 0.1–0.8 to 30–90 L/min, connection dependent. OL: 0.5–1.7, 1.3–4 or 2.5–8 L/min.

Temperature Limit:

120 °C standard; 160 °C optional HT.

Electrical Rating:

NO: 250 V / 3 A / 100 VA. SPDT: 250 V / 1.5 A / 50 VA.

Body Material:

Brass or stainless steel; see datasheet for wetted components.

Enclosure Rating:

IP65 with DIN plug; IP67 with moulded cable, where specified.

Pressure Limit:

BFS-20-O: 10 bar. BFS-20-OL: 16 bar.

Accuracy:

±10% of full scale.

Switch Type:

Adjustable magnetic reed flow switch; NO or change-over contacts according to model.

Mounting Orientation:

Any mounting position; observe flow direction and installation instructions.


Specify the manufacturer order number plus switching range, for example 0712-263, 3…10 L/min. The standard O order codes use G1; for alternative O process connections, add the required connection to the order inquiry. OL uses G1/2. Select brass (MS) or stainless steel (SS) and normally open (NO) or change-over (WE) contacts.

Use the datasheet connection/range table to confirm a valid combination. Viscosity must be 30–600 cSt. ATEX versions are not available. Confirm the operating-temperature option and availability when requesting a quotation.
