APOLLO 2462560026 Slope Sensor Paver Pendulum Position Sensor For s1800/s1600 Paver
The APOLLO 2462560026 Slope Sensor is designed for precise cross-slope detection and feedback in S1800/S1600 series pavers, ensuring optimal paving quality and road surface drainage.
Key Function & Operating Principle
- Core Function: Detects and provides feedback on the cross-slope angle of the screed, essential for proper road surface drainage (typically expressed as a percentage).
- Operating Principle:
- Mechanically connected to the paver's tow arms or reference beam via pendulum arm
- Converts ground level variations into pendulum arm movement
- Internal precision potentiometer/encoder transforms shaft rotation into electrical signals
- Control console compares real-time data with target values to automatically adjust screed tilt
Key Features
- High-precision position feedback for superior paving quality (smoothness and slope accuracy)
- Rugged construction withstands harsh job site conditions (vibration, dust, temperature fluctuations)
- Direct OEM replacement for S1800/S1600 pavers with plug-and-play installation
- Standard analog signal output (voltage/resistance proportional to pendulum angle)
Importance in Paving Operations
- Maintains precise cross-slope (1.5%, 2%, etc.) for proper road drainage
- Automatically compensates for ground variations to improve surface smoothness
- Reduces longitudinal/transverse waves for enhanced ride quality
- Increases efficiency by automating slope control and reducing operator workload
