Product catalog summary
Product Introduction
The VTS6D is an industrial-grade sensor designed for precise vibration and tilt angle measurement. It features full-temperature-range calibration and stability testing, ensuring reliable performance across various environments.

Order Information [vf Working Principle of Tilt Angle Adopting imported core control unit and utilizing the principle of capacitive micro pendulum. Using the principle of Earth's gravity, when the tilt unit tilts, the Earth's gravity will produce a component of gravity on the corresponding pendulum, and the corresponding capacitance will change. By amplifying, filtering, and converting the capacitance, the tilt angle can be obtained. Sensors are affected by G values and their accuracy may vary in different regions. Please make sure to set the latitude value before use, and refer to the protocol...
