TURCK’s new dual axis inclinometer sensor for angular tilt detection features compact
rectangular housings, and will sense ±10, ±45, ±60 and ±85 degrees of angular displacement.
Inclinometer sensors may be used in a wide variety of industries to solve unique response
requirements.
At the heart of the TURCK inclinometer is a MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) device
that incorporates a micro-electro-mechanical capacitive element into the sensor that utilizes
two parallel plate electrodes, one stationary and one attached to a spring-mass system.
Movement produces deflection in the non-stationary electrode. This results in a measurable
change in the capacitance between the two plates that is proportional to the angle of
deflection. These signals are conditioned to provide two voltage outputs (0.1-4.9 VDC) or two
current outputs (4-20 mA).
The inclinometer is IP 67 rated, with a
temperature range of -22 to 158°F that
permits its use in many applications, including:
• Industrial equipment: levers, pedals, flaps,
mixing machines, hydraulic jacks, dancers and
rotary tables
• Mobile vehicles: cranes, fire trucks, bucket
trucks and construction vehicles
• Vertical and horizontal
drills used in tunnel and
road construction and immersion equipment
• Offshore plants: platforms, cranes
• Conveyors
