Introduction to
Damper’s Position

The position of dampers in an Air Handling Unit (AHU) directly impacts airflow and HVAC system efficiency. Over time, wear and misalignment in damper motors can cause incomplete opening or closing, leading to uneven ventilation or system strain. Identifying these issues early helps maintain consistent performance and reduces the need for costly repairs.

A 3-axis tilt sensor detects the exact angle of the damper, allowing facility managers to confirm whether it is operating as intended. This innovative approach highlights deviations from expected movement patterns, making it easier to pinpoint mechanical wear or motor failure. When connected to IoT systems, it enhances maintenance strategies by offering predictive insights and ensuring long-term reliability.
