Tilt switches (QG series)

“A tilt switch is a type of switch that switches at a certain angle as compared to the horizon (similar to the old mercury switch).

It is in fact an inclinometer with a switching output. Since gravity serves as a reference maximum mounting freedom is achieved.”

“The tilt switches from DIS Sensors are based on MEMS technology and intelligent microcontroller algorithms. As a result, single or twin axis switches can be implemented with any desired switching angle. The output can be NPN or PNP.

A SIL1 / PLc tilt switch for safety applications completes the portfolio. An optional configurator is available to configure the switch (angles, delay times, filtering).”

Description

Description

Key Features of the DIS Sensors Tilt Switch:
  • ±170° Measurement Range: Our tilt switch offers an extensive measurement range, providing the flexibility needed for diverse crane applications.
  • Zero-Point Setting: With a zero-point setting, the tilt switch enables precise programmingof any required angle, ensuring tailored solutions for your specific needs.
  • Digital Equivalent of a Spirit Level: Our tilt switch embodies the digital equivalent of a spirit level, offering unparalleled accuracy in angle monitoring.
  • Custom Configuration: Beyond the switching angle, users can configure delay times and filter options either ex-factory or on-site, providing a customizable solution tailored to your operational requirements.
  • Functional Safety: Elevate safety with optional SIL1/PLc tilt switches, meeting the highest functional safety standards for peace of mind in critical applications.
  • Redundancy for Greater Safety: For applications demanding an extra layer of safety, our tilt switches support redundant configurations, enhancing reliability and reducing the risk of failure.
