Products > BinMaster > Vibrating Rod Level Sensor

The VR Series of vibrating rods are piezoelectric devices with a single blade-shaped vibrating element. Material coming into contact with the probe dampens the vibration; material falling away returns the unit to normal vibration. This allows the unit to be used for high or low level indication.

The VR Series includes these different models:

VR-21 Standard 7-Inch Vibrating Rod
The VR-21 is BinMaster’s standard piezoelectric driven vibration type point level switch, which has an insertion length of 7.37 inches. Its unique single-rod probe design with a sword-shaped blade prevents bridging of material, making it superior to typical “tuning fork” designs by allowing material to easily flow by, preventing build up on the blade. It is suitable for both top and side mount applications and is ideal for a wide variety of dry and bulk powder materials including extremely light, fluffy materials.

VR-41 Rigid Extended Vibrating Rod
The VR-41 is designed for use with a variety of heavy, medium and light materials including extremely light, fluffy materials. Intended for top mount locations, it is available in lengths from 13 inches up to 13 feet. A rigid one-inch pipe extension is available in galvanized or stainless steel dependent on the material application. The VR-41 is custom-manufactured at BinMaster’s factory to meet customer specifications.

VR-51 Flexible Extended Vibrating Rod
The VR-51 extended vibrating rod uses a steel-rope reinforced cable and allows for insertion lengths from 19 inches up to 19 feet. This vibrating rod with a flexible extension is custom manufactured to the desired length specification at the BinMaster factory. The VR-51 is intended for top mount applications and can be used to detect materials that are heavy, medium or light weight including those which are extremely light and fluffy.

CVR-600 Mini Vibrating Rod
The CVR-600 is a compact vibrating rod that is ideal for small bins, hoppers, and feeders. Featuring an overall insertion length of just six inches, it is suitable for space-constrained applications. It can be mounted on the top or side of the bin for high, medium and low level indications. It is easy to install, fitting through a standard one-inch NPT mounting socket and can be used in process temperatures up to 300ºF.

SHT 120 / 140 High Temperature Vibrating Rod
The SHT or Super High Temperature vibrating rod series is built specifically for higher process temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). It features a standard insulation tube that insulates the electronics from excessive heat. It has a standard insertion length of 7.24 inches for both top and side mount applications. It can be extended from 13 inches up to 13 feet using a rigid pipe extension for top mount applications where extra length is desired.


Point Level Alarm Panel
The Point Level Alarm Panel is designed to monitor bin levels and automatically alarm when levels change – such as reaching a high or low status. The alarm panel is available with four to 24 level indicator stations making it convenient to read status from multiple bins from a single panel. It can be connected to an external horn or common alarm to provide an alert status throughout a facility.
