Single Axis ±45° Electronic Inclinometer Sensor

electronic inclinometer clinometer sensor

When rotated about its sensitive axis this sensor provides a linear variation in capacitance which is then electronically converted into angular data by the onboard circuitry. This circuit produces an output signal corresponding to the direction and magnitude of the angular displacement. There are a choice output configurations, analogue, ratiometric, digital (PWM) or serial (SDO) for easy integration into any system.

High Precision Electronic Inclinometers

high precision electronic inclinometer clinometer sensor

These inclinometers are extremely sensitive inertial sensors that measure horizontal angle or vertical deviation with virtually infinite resolution. They are fully self-contained (closed loop system) and they connect to a DC power source and a readout or control device for a complete operating system. The high-level DC output signal is proportional to the sine of the angle of tilt from as little as +/–1° full range to +/–90° full range. They respond to changes of slope as small as 0.1 second of arc. Fluid filled units have hysteresis less that 0.0005% of full range output, and vibration rectification is less than 10 arc seconds/g.
