Maeda Koki MKCT Type OIL SIGNAL – Flow Indicator (Metal Cover)

Combine durability with measurement capability using the Maeda Koki MKCT type OIL SIGNAL – Flow Indicator. This specialized unit is engineered for harsh industrial environments, featuring a rugged metal protective cover to shield the glass components from external shock. Unlike standard indicators that only show flow presence, the MKCT type utilizes a transparent taper pipe to provide a visual indication of the approximate flow quantity.

Description

Maeda Koki MKCT Type is designed to bridge the gap between simple flow verification and durable process monitoring. While standard flow sights might be vulnerable to impact, and basic models only indicate if fluid is moving, the MKCT offers a comprehensive solution.

Visual Flow Measurement The core of the MKCT’s functionality is its “Taper” design. It houses a transparent taper pipe containing a ball (or float) and a distinct indication red line. As the oil flow rate changes, the internal float moves up or down the tapered section. By observing the position of the float relative to the red line, operators can confirm the approximate flow quantity at a glance, rather than just knowing whether the oil is flowing or not.

Robust Protection To ensure longevity in heavy manufacturing zones, the unit is encased in a metal protective cover. This external shield reduces the possibility of damage caused by accidental tools, flying debris, or physical shocks from the outside. It is the ideal choice for exposed piping on heavy machinery where standard glass indicators would be a safety risk.

Flexible Installation Despite its rugged build and measurement features, the MKCT retains the series’ signature installation flexibility. An internal spring mechanism stabilizes the float, meaning the installation direction does not matter. The unit can be mounted vertically (looking up or down) or horizontally (sideways) without affecting the accuracy of the flow indication.

Features

  • It shows flow quantity by viewing. Because use a transparent taper pipe, with a ball (or afloat) and the indication red line. It can confirm approximate flow quantity by looking at the position concerned.
  • With protective cover. By a metal protective cover, I reduce the possibility of damage by shocks from the outside.
  • The installation direction does not matter. The posture when attaching it as using a spring inside looks up and look down, and it can perform sideways-facing freely.

Applications

MKCT oil signal is a flow indicator, flow switch, and flow control depending on the type. It is equipped with a protective cover superior in reliable durability in a severe environment. It knows the flow quantity of the oil at a glance.
