Tilt Switches and Control Units

For Sensing and Controlling Levels with a Wide Variety of Solids and Liquids

The Ramsey tilt switch is actuated when material rises to tilt the probe 15 degrees or more from its vertical position. The mercury switch is precisely positioned so that, regardless of direction of tilt, the normally closed contacts are caused to open. The switches are encapsulated in various sizes to suit the application.

For protection of Belt Conveyor and Personnel. Belt misalignment switches are mounted on the top or bottom of the conveyor stringer with the actuating arm adjusted to the outside edge of belt.

If the belt skews or runs-off contacting actuating arm, displacing it from the arm's normal vertical position, one or more of the microswitches are contacted.

A pull cable is terminated at one end from a fixed mounting and attached at the switch end to one of the actuating armholes. Force applied to the pull cable at any position causes the actuating arm to rotate 20deg. to a tripped-locked position. This will stay locked until manually reset by the reset lever.
