Description

The Comus International CW1300-1 tilt switch operates on a simple, robust mechanical principle where a conductive element moves to open or close an electrical circuit when the sensor is tilted beyond a specific angle from the horizontal plane. This design eliminates the need for mercury, enhancing safety and environmental compatibility.

Featuring a hermetically sealed, inert gas-filled housing with a tin-plated case, the sensor is protected against moisture, dust, and corrosive atmospheres, ensuring long-term stability and reliability. Its compact form factor and low-profile design facilitate integration into space-constrained assemblies for orientation detection, tilt alarms, and position-sensitive switching applications.

Key Features

  • Non-Mercury Design: Safe, environmentally friendly switching mechanism suitable for diverse applications.
  • Precise Angular Response: Defined make angle (10° max below horizontal) and break angle (10° max above horizontal) for predictable operation.
  • Robust Environmental Sealing: Hermetically sealed construction with inert gas fill protects internal contacts.
  • Durable Housing: Tin-plated case provides corrosion resistance and reliable electrical connection.
  • Broad Thermal Tolerance: Operates reliably across an extended temperature range from -37°C to +100°C.
  • Low Contact Resistance: Maximum of 30 Ω when measured 10° below horizontal at 5 VDC.
  • Compact & Lightweight: Minimal footprint (22mm x 5mm) and weight (~1g) for easy integration.
  • High-Value Build: Optimized for reliable performance in cost-sensitive industrial and electronic designs.

Applications

  • Orientation detection and tilt alarms in industrial machinery and mobile equipment.
  • Position-sensitive safety cut-off switches in consumer appliances and power tools.
  • Leveling and inclination monitoring in agricultural and construction instrumentation.
  • Tamper detection and position sensing in security devices and enclosures.
  • Educational projects and prototypes demonstrating basic switch-based tilt sensing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating principle of the Comus International CW1300-1 tilt switch?

The CW1300-1 is a non-mercury, mechanical tilt switch. It contains a conductive element that moves within a hermetically sealed, inert gas-filled chamber. When the sensor is tilted beyond its specified make or break angle relative to horizontal, this element moves to open or close an electrical circuit, providing a simple digital on/off signal based on orientation.

What are the electrical specifications and limits for this tilt sensor?

The sensor is rated for a maximum contact capacity of 60 Volts AC, 0.25 Amps, or 3 Volt-Amps. It should not be used to switch loads exceeding these values. The contact resistance is a maximum of 30 Ohms when measured with the sensor tilted 10° below horizontal at a test voltage of 5 VDC.

How do I interpret the make, break, and differential angles?

The 'make angle' (max 10° below horizontal) is the tilt required to close the switch contacts. The 'break angle' (max 10° above horizontal) is the tilt required to open them. The 'differential angle' (max 15°) is the total angular movement between these two states. In the horizontal position, the switch contact state (open or closed) is not guaranteed and depends on the specific angle thresholds.

What are the environmental and mounting considerations for this sensor?

The sensor features a hermetically sealed, tin-plated case filled with inert gas, making it resistant to moisture, dust, and mild corrosive environments. It operates across a wide temperature range from -37°C to +100°C. Mounting should be secure, with the sensor's longitudinal axis aligned to the plane of tilt you wish to detect, ensuring it is fixed in a stable position to avoid vibration-induced false triggering.
