Inclinometers measure angular tilt in reference to gravity in applications where customers need to level platforms or control tilt angles.
Turck inclinometers are available in single adjustable or dual axis models with two analog, discrete, or digital communications outputs. IO-Link and CANopen communcations optional. IP68 or better rugged enclosures rated for 55Hz vibration and 30g shock.
Turck inclinometers contain a microelectric mechanical system (MEMS) device that adds a micro-electromechanical capacitive element into the sensor that uses two parallel plate electrodes: one stationary and one attached to a spring-mass system. The suspended electrode is free to move with the change in angle relative to earth’s gravity. 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 voltage outputs (0.1 to 4.9 VDC) or current outputs (4 to 20 mA).
The microprocessor design and the MEMS technology allows for a compact, precise inclinometer in a very robust, industrialized package. The inclinometer carries an IP68 rating for ingress protection, and can operate in temperatures from -30° to 70° C (-22° to 158° F), with the option for -40° C (-40° F). These sensors can be mounted up to a maximum of ±85° angle for dual axis models and 360° for single axis models.
- Single axis models: 0°-360°; Dual axis models: ±5°, ±10°, ±45°, ±60°, ±85°
- Analog 4-20 mA, 0-5 VDC outputs
- Discrete PNP or NPN outputs
- IO-Link or CANOpen communications protocols
- 10-30 VDC power
- Teachable zero point up to ±15% with teach adapter VB2-SP4
- Some models are FM Class I, Div 2 approved when used with Guard-Q20L60 and approved cordset.
