Tilt Sensors

A Tilt Sensor is a device used to measure the tilting position of an object in reference to gravity. A basic example which most people can relate to is a smart phone. Smart phones contain tilt sensors to trigger the screen orientation when the phone is tilted on its side. Our tilt sensors are used in more industrial situation but the basic principle remains the same.

At Positek we use our own inductive technology which you wont find anywhere else on the market. Because of this our sensors offer extended life cycle and are corrosion resistant making them suitable for a whole host of application areas including marine, off-shore and out doors.

They are more reliable than RVDT alternatives and are fully customisable by our in-house team. Our onsite production facility ensures quick turn around so we are able to deliver your custom solution in as little as 1-2 working days. 
 

Our tilt sensors are also available for use in intrinsically safe environments with ATEX, IECEx and CSA approvals. This ensures safety in hazardous areas, if you require a tilt sensor for a specific environment please let us know.

When selecting a tile sensor it is vital that the working environment is taken into consideration and factors are considered to ensure the sensor is the correct one for the job. Some of the more common factors and specifications for tilt sensors are;
 

• Noise and Vibration tolerance. Noise and vibration can affect the functionality of a tilt sensor, this may require a particular type of tilt sensor which has resistance to these elements.
• Sensitivity – different applications will require a different level of sensitivity, this could depend on the measurement range of the application.   
• Resolution. –the amount of tilt within the application will depend on the required resolution of the tilt sensor.
• Measuring range. The measurement range of our tilt sensors can be up to 160 degrees.

Tilt sensors are used in many different industries, some of the most common industries we serve are;

• Manufacturing
• Marine applications
• Off-shore oil rigs
• Industrial vehicle applications
• Aerospace applications
• Mobile vehicle applications

Our range of tilt sensors have a superior life-span compared with that of our competitors. With over 25 years of experience in the industry, Positek continues to meet the needs of consumers by enhancing engineering techniques and methods to ensure that our sensors remain as one of the best options available in the market today.
