With our technical expertise, extensive network of manufacturers and experience of industrial environments, we can guide you towards products and solutions that are suited to the application, the environment and the requirements of your system
At Swelex, we offer a wide range of sensors and measurement technology solutions to help you monitor and control your processes with high precision. Our products are used in industry, process automation, water and wastewater management, energy, laboratories and many other applications. With the right sensor, you can optimise operations, prevent failures and ensure the safety and efficiency of your systems. We offer several types of sensors and measuring devices to meet different needs.
Industrial encoders and measurement technology for the right application
Choosing the right sensor is often crucial to ensuring that a machine, process or technical installation operates reliably over time. Swelex supplies industrial sensors and measurement technology for measurement, monitoring and control in demanding environments. We can help you choose sensors based on factors such as measurement range, signal type, protection rating, materials, connection type, mounting and compatibility with existing systems. This may involve a single component, an option from a specific manufacturer, or a more customised solution including cabling, connectors and accessories.
Whether you are in the development phase, the design phase, the procurement phase or the service phase, Swelex will help you find a technically and practically viable solution.
Sensors for pressure, temperature, level, flow and position
Swelex offers a range of industrial sensors and measurement technology for machinery, automation systems, process equipment and technical installations. Below you will find our main sensor categories.
Pressure transducers for liquids, gases and process systems
Swelex supplies pressure transducers, pressure gauges, pressure switches, pressure transmitters and differential pressure transducers for industrial applications. The products are used in applications such as hydraulics, pneumatics, pumps, filters, compressed air systems and process equipment where pressure levels need to be monitored, controlled or signalled.
We can help you choose the right model based on the measurement range, accuracy, output signal, process connection, materials and the medium to be measured.
Pressure sensors, pressure gauges & pressure switches
- Measures pressure & differential pressure in gases and liquids
- Precise and robust for industrial applications
- Suitable for monitoring, control and safety functions
Flow sensors for liquids and gases
- For continuous or spot flow measurement
- Available for liquids, gases and neutral media
- Helps optimise process flows and reduce downtime
Flow meters for industrial systems
Swelex supplies flow sensors and flow meters for industrial systems where flow needs to be measured, monitored or indicated. The products are used in sectors such as the process industry, cooling systems, water treatment, dosing, energy optimisation and technical installations.
We can help you select a flow meter based on the medium, flow range, pipe size, pressure, temperature, accuracy and installation conditions. The right solution ensures stable operation and reliable measurement throughout the system.
Level sensors for tanks, containers and vessels
Swelex offers level sensors and level switches for tanks, containers and process vessels. These solutions can be used for continuous level measurement, alarms, dry-run protection or overfill protection.
We can help you select the right level sensor based on the medium, temperature, pressure, viscosity, tank design, material requirements and installation environment. For demanding environments, we can also advise on solutions that can withstand moisture, vibrations, chemicals and other harsh operating conditions.
Level sensors & level switches
- Continuous level measurement or point switch
- For liquids and solids
- Ensures proper level control and prevents overfilling or dry running
Force, motion & position sensors
- Measuring force, motion or position
- LVDT and motion sensors for industrial applications
- Can be used for control, calibration and quality control
Force, motion and position sensors for mechanical applications
Swelex offers sensors for applications where position, movement, load or mechanical stress need to be measured. These may include, for example, inductive sensors, capacitive sensors, position sensors, LVDTs, force transducers, load cells, encoders and pulse sensors.
This type of sensor is often used in machinery, automation systems and production equipment where precise detection, positioning or load measurement is essential. We can help you select the right sensor based on measuring principle, distance, resolution, signal type, environment, mounting and repeatability requirements.
Temperature sensors for machinery and technical systems
Swelex supplies temperature sensors for measurement and monitoring in machinery, processes, media and technical systems. Common solutions include Pt100 sensors, thermocouples and NTC sensors, often in combination with temperature controllers or temperature monitors.
We will help you choose the right temperature sensor based on temperature range, accuracy, response time, installation, environment and how the measured value will be used within the system. Some applications require a fast response, whilst others place greater demands on stability, service life and reliability.
Temperature sensors & controllers
- For monitoring and controlling temperatures
- Thermostats, temperature monitors and controllers
- Important for safety, performance and energy efficiency of processes

Measurement technology for industry, mechanical engineering and automation
Swelex supplies sensors and measurement technology to customers in sectors including mechanical engineering, automation, the process industry, energy, water, ventilation, manufacturing and technical facilities.
Our products are used in applications where measurement data must be reliable and where the choice of components affects performance, safety and operational reliability. This may involve measuring pressure in a hydraulic system, monitoring the level in a tank, controlling the temperature in a process, or measuring the flow in a cooling system.
As different industries and applications have different requirements, we help you choose sensors based on both technical specifications and practical use. This makes it easier to find a solution that works in the right environment, with the right connection, signal and measurement range.
Technical guidance and bespoke solutions for sensors
Swelex takes a solution-oriented approach and helps you find the right products from the outset. We can assist you in selecting sensors, but also help when your application requires additional components or a more customised solution.
This might involve, for example, combining sensors with the right cabling, connectors, brackets, screws or other accessories. This way, you can create a more complete subsystem that is easier to install and better suited to your application.
We can also help if you need to find an alternative to an existing component, compare technical specifications or get advice on products from selected manufacturers.
