SW-520D Tilt Switch Vibration Sensor Metal Ball, Tilt Sensor

Description

Description:

This SW-520D Tilt Switch can easily be used to detect orientation. Inside the can is a ball that makes contact with the pins when the case is upright. Tilt the case over and the balls don’t touch, thus not making a connection. There are numerous uses for the SW-520D Tilt Switch, but keep in mind you might need to use some debouncing code, as the sensor isn’t immune to small vibrations and such.

In many applications, we need to make sure that the system we developed must remain in a specific orientation like in robotics or vehicles on the road or big machinery working in dangerous environments. These systems pose a threat to the lives and safety of the surrounding workers or other living things if they have an accident and crash while their electrical systems are still working. To counter this threat, we have this SW-520D Tilt Switch which detects the inclination of the system concerning the vertical axis and automatically turns off the switch if the inclination exceeds 15°.

SW-520D Tilt Switch will come in handy if your machinery falls like bike crashes and other accidents as it will turn off the electrical supply thereby minimising the risk of fire by short-circuiting. SW-520D Tilt Switch comes in a fully sealed, waterproof and dustproof package so that you won’t have to worry about the working environment of this sensor.
