AnguSens Product Line AnguSens inclinometers measure incline angles with a multi-electrode array which determines the conductivity of a fluid-filled cell. This sensor techno- logy supports three different measuring ranges: ±5, ±15 and ±30 degrees. Besides this flexible choice of range, the sensor technology also ensures a high resolution of up to 0,001°. Arugged three-point mounting on the sensor housing simplifies instal- lation, particularly on uneven surfaces. The sensor housing’s IPprotection class guarantees industrial safe out- door use. Similar to rotary encoders, control systems with very different interfaces have been established in this market. Beyond analog inter- faces like voltage, current, PWM or switching out- puts AnguSens inclinometers support RS232 and CANopen. Furthermore the AngusSens inclino- meters can be configured using numerous para- meters.

INCLINOMETERS

Inclinometers Angles and inclines must be measured in many applications to ensure the safe operation or to con- trol automatic movements. An incline is defined as any deviation from the vertical or horizontal axis wit- hin the reference system. Inclines are significant in construction machines, cranes, aerial ladders, automatic stacker facilities and industrial machining devices. Inclinometers allow an easy and efficient way to measure position values without direct cou- pling to the actuators. This fact and a high protec- tion class permits them to be placed almost anywhere, providing more flexibility for design engineers. Inclinometers also allow simultaneous measurement of two axes with a single sensor, which can also reduce the design and engineering effort compared to other sensor systems.
