Tilt Switches
Mercury Tilt Switches
Used in multiple kinds of equipment and applications, tilt switch contacts change condition (Open or Closed) of a circuit when tilted a certain amount of degrees. Advantages include: contacts are self cleaning, have been used in hazardous locations, interrupting the circuit does not emit a spark that could ignite flammable gases, very low resistance, quiet action, and a sensitivity of the drop to gravity provides a unique sensing function, and lends itself to simple, low-force mechanisms for manual or automatic operation.
