Turck has introduced a dual-axis inclinometer sensor for angular tilt detection. The sensors feature compact rectangular housings and may be mounted at ±10, ±45, ±60 and ±85° angles.
The inclinometer measures angular tilt in reference to gravity. At the heart of the Turck inclinometer is a MEMS device, which incorporates a micro-electromechanical capacitive element into the sensor that uses two parallel plate electrodes, one stationary and one attached to a spring-mass system. Movement causes acceleration that 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 analog outputs (0.1 to 4.9 VDC) or two current outputs (4–20 mA).
The microboard design in the MEMS technology allows for a compact, precise inclinometer in a robust, industrialised package. The inclinometer is IP67 rated, with a temperature range of -30 to 70 °C that permits its use in many applications, including conveying.
