Abstract
A cant angle sensor assembly, includes a pendulum pivoted on a supporting system adapted to be mounted on an object whose cant angle is to be sensed, for swinging movement in a direction of tilt of the object, a movable electrode provided on the pendulum and having a first and a second movable electrode plate, and a first stationary electrode plate fixedly mounted on the supporting system in an opposed relation to one of the first and second movable electrode plates of the movable electrode at a predetermined gap, with an area of the first stationary electrode plate opposed to one of the first and second movable electrode plates being invariable despite vibration of the pendulum. Further, second and third stationary electrode plates are fixedly mounted on the supporting system in an opposed relation to the other of the first and second movable electrode plates of the movable electrode plate at a given gap, so that with the swinging movement of the pendulum, areas of the second and third stationary electrode plates opposed to the other of the first and second movable electrode plates are increased and decreased in a manner contrary to each other.
