Tilt switch is robust level switch unaffected by adhesion. They can be used for upper limit detection in storage silos, walkers, chutes, etc. for powder and solid materials.
1. Not affected by adhesion or electrical characteristics of measured object. Effective when capacitance method cannot detect due to its low relative permittivity.
2. Suitable for detecting solid materials. Capacitance or paddle type may break equipment when detecting solid materials, but Tilt Switch housed in a sturdy cast metal case are safe because of their shock-resistant construction. Specific gravity is 1.0 or higher, and solid materials with a grain size of 30 mm or more can be detected.

Not affected by electrical properties such as relative permittivity and conductivity
Sensor part is housed in a sturdy cast metal case, making it resistant to shocks should they occur
Standard product is intended for measuring materials with specific gravity of 1.0 or more and particle size of 30 mm or more. For specific gravity of 1.0 or less, use optional cross paddle type. The cross paddle type is for materials with a specific gravity of 0.6 or more and a particle size of 30 mm or more.
The above values are subject to change depending on conditions of object to be measured and environment in which it is installed.
Sensor (detection unit) of Tilt Switch has a built-in tilt switch. When sensor is not in contact with object to be measured, contact between A and B is closed (NC state) via an iron ball.
When sensor is inclined due to accumulation of measured object, iron ball in the inclination switch rolls and contact point between A and B is opened (NO state).
In principle, the sensor is not affected by floating dust or adhered objects.
Avoid direct contact of sensor with an object to be fed, as impact may cause false detection or damage.
Since sensor is designed to detect inclination, install it in a location where there is enough space so that it will not hit a wall or the like even if it is inclined.
Simply screw it to ceiling. Link chain from ceiling to detection position must be prepared by the customer.
Please refer to the instruction manual for details.
