Characteristics of single axis tilt sensor

Time : 2021-07-22

We all know that in normal spatial dimensions, there are three dimensions: length, width, and height. However, a tilt angle sensor can measure the tilt angle of these three dimensions. A single axis tilt angle sensor can only measure the angle in a certain direction.
The tilt sensor we often refer to generally refers to a single axis tilt sensor, and the theoretical basis of a single axis tilt sensor is Newton’s second law. According to basic physical principles, velocity cannot be measured within a system, but its acceleration can be measured. If the initial velocity is known, the linear velocity can be calculated by integration, and then the linear displacement can be calculated. So it is actually an accelerometer that uses the principle of inertia.
