Meet the VTS2022
Tilt Position Sensor
Meet the newest member of our Vibration Tolerant Tilt Sensor Range. The new and improved VTS2022 is a two-channel version of its hugely successful VTS2021 tilt sensor.
Retaining the same compact footprint and rugged design, this new dual-axis, vibration-tolerant tilt sensor offers an optimal combination of performance, safety and cost in dynamic applications, making it ideal for pitch and roll detection for off-highway industrial-vehicle applications, including mobile elevating work platforms (MEWP).
Like the single-channel version, the VTS2022 uses IMU technology and fast-acting software algorithms to filter out disturbances caused by vibration and vehicle motion to provide output stability without the measurement delays usually associated with heavily-damped, traditional sensing methods.
Each measurement axis of the VTS2022 has two sensing elements, which are constantly compared to ensure correct operation. If an error is detected, its condition is communicated to the host electronics to ensure a safe operating situation is assumed. Additionally, each output signal is calibrated to account for thermal drift, ensuring accuracy over the operating temperature range.
The launch of the VTS2022 aligns with the International Powered Access Federation’s 2025 Global Safety Campaign, “Stop Overturns – Safety Starts on the Ground!”. This initiative comes in response to a troubling 50% increase in fatal accidents involving MEWP overturns between January 2021 and December 2023, underscoring the urgent need for industry-wide action to improve safety standards.
