Product type
A tilt sensor is an electronic device that detects the orientation or inclination of an object relative to the ground. It typically consists of a pendulum or a ball that moves within a housing, triggering a switch or generating an electrical signal when a certain angle is reached. Tilt sensors can be made from various materials, including plastic and metal, depending on the application requirements. They are commonly used in applications where the position of an object needs to be monitored, such as in smartphones, automotive systems, and industrial machinery.
| Operating voltage | 3V to 12V |
| Output type | Digital or analog |
| Tilt angle range | 0 to 90 degrees |
| Response time | 10 ms to 100 ms |
| Temperature range | -40°C to 85°C |
When selecting a tilt sensor, consider the required operating voltage and output type, as these will influence compatibility with your existing systems. It's important to specify the tilt angle range needed for your application, as well as the environmental conditions, such as temperature range. Additionally, inquire about response time and any necessary certifications for safety or quality standards.

Tilt sensors can be classified into two main types: mechanical and electronic.
Determine the maximum angle of inclination your application will encounter to select the appropriate range.
Yes, but ensure the sensor is rated for outdoor use and can withstand environmental conditions.
Digital output provides a simple on/off signal, while analog output gives a continuous signal proportional to the tilt angle.
Yes, excessive vibrations can affect the accuracy of tilt sensors, so consider this in your application.
The lifespan can vary, but many tilt sensors are designed for over 100,000 cycles.
