Maeda Koki MKCM Flow Signal Indicator

Maeda Koki MKCM Flow Signal Indicator model produced by Maeda Koki in Japan, Oil signal and Water signal Model MKCM has a function for detecting minimal flow. MKCM water signal manufactured with using acrylic tube is limited to the use of 80 ? or less. (Flow switch of the product is limited to the use of 60 ? or less.)
If you want to use the mixed oil of the like, lubricants, please note the “Aburaaka”. When the inside or within the fluid piping “garbage” and “iron powder” is mixed, there is a possibility that the ball (float) may not work. We hope the use of the filter or the like.

  • It is the electric point of contact model rheoscope using the lead switch
  • with protective cover
  • i can appoint the operation flow quantity of the switch

Technical Overview & Operation

The Maeda Koki MKCM Flow Signal Indicator operates using a mechanical spring-opposed piston or flap mechanism coupled directly or magnetically to an electrical contact switch.

As liquid enters the inlet port, fluid pressure and velocity displace the internal piston/flap against a calibrated spring. Plant technicians can visually observe fluid movement, clarity, and bubble content through the toughened sight window. When the volumetric flow rate reaches or falls below the designated setpoint value, the mechanical displacement actuates the electrical microswitch contacts ($NO/NC$). This sends a discrete dry-contact signal to external alarm horns, PLC safety circuits, or trip relays, protecting expensive machinery against dry-running or cooling failure.

  • Field-Adjustable Setpoints: Allows precise microswitch trip configuration to monitor high-flow or low-flow process limits.

  • Robust Mechanical Construction: Durable brass, bronze, or stainless steel bodies paired with thermal-shock-resistant glass windows for industrial resilience.

  • Low Differential Pressure Drop: Optimized internal flow channels ensure minimal restriction to continuous fluid circulation.

  • Dependable Contact Actuation: Reliable mechanical switching unaffected by mild fluid discoloration or optical turbidity.

Applications

  • CNC Machine Tool Spindle Cooling: Monitoring low-flow cooling water or oil lines servicing high-speed motor spindles.

  • Robotic Welding & Laser Systems: Verifying continuous cooling water flow to welding tips and laser diode heat sinks.

  • Gearbox & Bearing Lubrication: Ensuring constant oil flow to critical gear meshes, bearings, and hydraulic pumps.

  • Small Heat Exchanger Loops: Monitoring secondary cooling water loops in laboratory, medical, and industrial chillers.
