The Vega Tilt Switch TSWG is a gyro-integrated digital tilt sensor and switch with dual relay output and continuous onboard diagnostics. The tilt switch is recommended for crane safety sensing, tipper truck body inclination measurement, solar trackers, and other highly demanding off-road automotive applications.

 

The switch can be used to switch ON and OFF hydraulics and cut off power to motors or actuators beyond safe angles of operation. The tilt switch is highly configurable with settable threshold cut-off angles and a wide measurement range of up to ±90° in the X axis and ±60° in the Y axis.

Product Features

Integrated Gyro and Kalman Filter for accurate output in highly dynamic offroad environment.

Redundant MEMS sensors for reliable performance in demanding automotive safety applications.

Onboard diagnostics and digital health indication switch output.

IP68 tested design with superior environment protection for extreme operating conditions.

More than 10,000 tilt switches in operation in field with highly reliable performance and very low failure rate.

Digital RS232 and RS485 interfaces for X- and Y- angle output and integration with external controller.
