Pendulum / Inclination Sensor

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

  • Precision tilt or pendulum switch / sensor
  • Applicable as e.g. acceleration sensor
  • Variable switching angle depending on installation
  • Hg-free
  • Suitable to be soldered

 

APPLICATION

Different applications, when an exact switching angle is required. The inclination setting can be adjusted directly on the circuit board or application. The oil damping makes the sensor insensitive to vibrations.

FUNCTION

Tilt Switch:
At a specific angle, the reed switch is activated. By changing the position of the sensor on the object, the switching angle can be changed.

Acceleration sensor:
Acceleration will activate the pendulum. The switching activating point corresponds to a specific deflection ß and thus to a specific acceleration. The acceleration can be calculated according to the following formula:

a = tanß * g

If the switching angle at a specific acceleration is needed, the following formula is applicable:

ß = arctan a * g

ß = Switching angle
a = Acceleration
g = Gravity acceleration (9,81 m/s2)

 

PLEASE NOTE:

The inclination of the object influences the acceleration!
The sensor is filled with silicon oil!
