English term or phrase: sliding tube
Operation and Maintenance Manual:

AL-ADF magnetic float level switches are used to monitor the filling levels in containers with liquid
mediums. Magnetic float level switches function on the basis of the physical principle of flotation with magnetic signal transmission. One or more reed contacts are located inside the *sliding tube*
(protective gas contacts). Floats are attached to the *sliding tube* such that their height along the *sliding tube* changes in accordance with the medium filling level.

Me gustaría que me confirmen los expertos en el tema si el término correcto en este contexto puede ser "tubo deslizante" o hay algún otro término más adecuado. ¡Muchas gracias!

Spanish translation:tubo de deslizamiento
Explanation:
El tubo está fijo, no se desliza. La superficie interna del tubo, que es la que entra en contacto con la boya, tiene que ser lisa para que la boya no se tranque.

Reference: sliding tube

Reference information:
the tube (with the reed switches inside) is fixed - the float slides up and down along the tube - according to the fluid level. So sliding here is not a property of the tube - it is its purpose - for the float to slide along it.

agree  Hector Aires: Exactamente es lo que estaba por decir. Lo que se desliza son los flotadores que contienen los imanes; es decir que habría que cambiar la frase completa pues el tubo no se desliza. Saludetes del Étor.
