Industrial tilt switch and cable assembly

African Automation's Tilt Switches are motion-sensing safety devices used to detect the angular displacement or tilting of material handling equipment such as conveyor belts, hoppers, and chutes. When the set tilt angle is exceeded, the switch triggers an alert or shuts down the equipment to prevent spillage, blockages, or mechanical damage.

Technical Specifications:

- Tilt Angle Range: 10°, 15°, 20°, or customisable

- Contact Type: SPDT / DPDT

- Contact Rating: 10A @ 250V AC

- Enclosure: Die-cast aluminium or thermoplastic

- Ingress Protection: IP65 / IP67

- Operating Temperature: -20°C to +70°C

- Cable Entry: M20 / PG13.5 / custom

Key Features:

- Reliable Blockage Warning: No Radiation/Laser/Radar required.

- Dust-Immune Operation: Suitable for dirty industrial environments.

- Fail-safe operation: NC contact opens on tilt.

- Adjustable tilt angle: commonly 10° to 30°.

- Can be used indoors or outdoors.
