In many industrial systems, reliable detection of when a specific tilt angle is reached is essential. A tilt switch provides a simple yet robust solution for this purpose.
The DIS Sensors tilt switch is based on MEMS technology combined with intelligent algorithms, ensuring stable and accurate performance even in demanding environments. Using gravity as a reference, it can be mounted in any orientation without requiring complex calibration.
The tilt switch is activated when a predefined angle relative to the horizontal plane is reached, making it ideal for safety functions and automated control systems. It supports both 1-axis and 2-axis applications and delivers high reliability even in harsh conditions.
With a measurement range of approximately ±170°, the sensor functions as a digital spirit level with high precision. With a zero-point setting, the tilt switch enables precise programming of any required angle, ensuring tailored solutions for your specific needs. Output options include NPN or PNP, and safety-rated versions (SIL1 / PLc) are available for applications with strict safety requirements. Redundant output versions can also be provided when higher system safety is required.
DIS Sensors also has the ability to develop customer-specific solutions tailored to your needs.
Typical applications include:
- Agricultural machinery
- Aerial work platforms
- Forklifts and stackers
