Tilt sensors, also called inclinometers, measure the angle of an object relative to Earth’s gravity. They are widely used in industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, robotics, and consumer electronics to monitor orientation, slope, and inclination.
Working Principle:
Tilt sensors detect changes in angular position by measuring the effect of gravity on internal components. Common sensing mechanisms include:
Pendulum-based (Mechanical): Uses a weighted pendulum that tilts with inclination.
MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems): Relies on capacitive or piezoresistive elements to detect gravity-induced movement.
Electrolytic (Liquid-based): Measures changes in conductivity due to fluid displacement.
Optical: Uses light beams and photodetectors to determine tilt angles.
