Tilt Switches


Style A	Style B	Style C

Style D	Style E

Often used as position indicators, pump level controls, and machine limit switches, these switches actuate when tilted to a certain angle. They mount horizontally and activate when tilted downward, and deactivate when tilted up. All combine electromechanical and solid state technologies for reliability and long life.

Differential Angle—Differential angle is the total angle from the point of activation to the point of deactivation.
