Tilt Sensor (Blue)

The Tilt Sensor (Blue) is a versatile sensor designed to detect the angle of inclination or tilt in various applications. It uses a mercury switch or a ball-and-cup mechanism to detect changes in orientation. This sensor is commonly used in electronics projects, robotics, and systems where tilt detection is crucial for proper functioning or safety.

Key Features:

• Detection Mechanism: Mercury switch or ball-and-cup mechanism
• Output Type: Digital (Normally open or closed switch)
• Operating Voltage: 3V to 12V DC
• Sensitivity: Detects tilt at various angles (typically ±45°)
• Response Time: Instantaneous response to tilt changes
• Indicator: Blue color for easy identification
• Durability: Reliable and robust for various applications

Technical Specifications:

• Dimensions:
  • Sensor Diameter: 25 mm
  • Height: 10 mm
• Weight: Approximately 10 g
• Operating Voltage: 3V to 12V DC
• Output Type: Digital (On/Off switch)
• Tilt Angle: ±45° (varies by model)
• Response Time: Immediate (depends on tilt angle)
• Material: Plastic housing with internal tilt mechanism
• Cable Length: 15 cm (typically, varies by supplier)

Applications:

• Robotics: Detects the tilt of a robot to trigger actions or adjust orientation.
• Safety Systems: Used in devices to detect accidental tilting or tipping.
• Consumer Electronics: Helps in features that adjust based on the device’s tilt.
• Automotive: Used in vehicles for tilt detection and stability control.
