Vega TSW-G
Dual-Axis Industrial Tilt Switch with Gyroscope
Overview
Vega-TSW-G is a compact, robust industrial-grade tilt switch with gyroscope, insensitive to vibration and built to sustain harsh factory, automotive and construction-site environments. It combines MEMS accelerometers with a tri-axial gyroscope and integrated switching relays to deliver reliable angle measurement in both static and dynamic conditions.
Vega-TSW-G employs MEMS accelerometers for gravity-level sensing and a tri-axial gyroscope for angle measurement in vibrating or dynamic conditions. A high-speed 32-bit processor runs an advanced statistical filtering algorithm to estimate X (roll) and Y (pitch) angles even while the platform is in motion, with integrated relays that switch output when a user-configured threshold angle is exceeded.
With an update rate of up to 20 Hz and factory calibration over its full temperature range, Vega-TSW-G is a solid-state, high-reliability sensor ideal for OEM integration — supporting both static and dynamic applications such as heavy equipment, dumper trucks, cranes and scissor lifts in severe vibrating environments.
Vega TSW-G is an industrial tilt switch that estimates roll and pitch from MEMS accelerometers and a tri-axial gyroscope, for angle measurement in vibrating or dynamic conditions. Two integrated relays switch when a user-configured threshold angle is exceeded. It updates at up to 20 Hz, is sealed to IP67 and suits cranes, dumper trucks, scissor lifts and heavy equipment.
