Tilt Switch - RM50

Parker's RM50 delivers non-contacting tilt sensing in a single axis to indicate angular movement beyond a certain point.  When mounted horizontaly, the switch has a range of up to ±10 degrees.  However, the switch can be mounted at different angles to accomodate applications where larger angular movement needs to be detected.  

The sensors are built in a single package with no external moving components and magnetic characteristics help to reduce false tripping caused by vibration and sudden movements.  The sensors are very robust and able to withstand rugged applications   The potted design combined with the sealed connector give the sensors IP67 protection for outdoor applications.  The mechanical features offered provide for easy installation and removal, even in field conditions.

These features make the RM50 an environmentally safe alternative to old mercury switch designs.
