NSS1-IP Tilt Measuring System

Single axis tilt switching system with 2 switching contacts


Key features

  • Measuring range ±3° up to ±60° or 0 … 90°
  • Switching accuracy max. 0,5% of measuring range
  • Supply voltage 18 … 30 VDC
  • Output: 2 potential-free switching contacts (max. 30VDC/0,5A)

About the NSS1-IP tilt monitoring system

The industrial single-axis NSS1-IP system for monitoring tilt angle combines a non-contact tilt sensor with sensor-matched electronics. It provides precise tilt monitoring on the X axis and is designed for side-wall mounting. Depending on the version, the monitored tilt range is ±3° to ±60° or 0…90°. Using potentiometers (visible after opening the housing cover), the limit switching points can be freely set across the entire measurement range. The relays feature potential-free contacts with a maximum switching rating of 30 VDC / 0.5 A.

The tilt switch system is housed in a rugged EMC die-cast aluminum enclosure (IP66), making it ideal for harsh industrial environments.

Highlights

  • 1 measuring axis: X
  • Ranges: preferred ±3°, ±5°, ±10°, ±15°, ±20°, ±30°, ±45°, ±60° as well as 0…10°, 0…30°, 0…45°, 0…60°, 0…90° (others on request)
  • Output: 2 potential-free relay contacts (max. 30 VDC / 0.5 A)
  • Limits: 2 freely adjustable switching points via potentiometers
  • Switching accuracy: max. 0.5% of full range (at 23 °C)
  • Supply: 18…30 VDC, reverse polarity protected; power consumption approx. 4 W
  • Frequency range (-3 dB): 0.5 Hz
  • Protection & ruggedness: IP66, EMC die-cast aluminum housing; potted electronics (protection against moisture/vibration)
  • Connection: EMC cable gland M16×1.5 to internal spring-clamp terminals

Typical applications

  • Tilt monitoring on machines, systems, and test rigs
  • Safety/limit monitoring for defined tilt conditions (relay outputs)
  • Applications in harsh industrial environments requiring a rugged IP66 enclosure
