Electromate proudly carries TILTIX Inclinometers made by Posital. Also called tilt sensors, they're designed to measure the angle of an object with respect to the force of gravity. These tilt or level meters determine pitch and/or roll angle and output these values via the appropriate electrical interface.
Inclinometers are easy to integrate to an application, because there's no need for mechanical linkages aside from the installation itself. This is a real advantage for design engineers.
Posital developed several inclinometer types to have a suitable solution for different applications in each industry. The accurate measurement of the degree of tilt or inclination from a horizontal position is critical for motion control systems to ensure safety.
Inclinometer Types
Dynamic
Equipped with a 3D MEMS accelerometer and a 3D MEMS gyroscope. A smart algorithm combines the signal of accelerometer and gyroscope to eliminate the effect of accelerations, vibrations and shocks. Dynamic inclinometers output a clean measurement signal and can be used reliably on mobile equipment such as construction machinery, mining equipment, agricultural machinery, cranes, and anywhere else where sudden movements, shocks and vibrations are likely to be encountered.
Compensation of External Accelerations
Accurate Measurement During Dynamic Movements
Accuracy 0.3°
Interfaces: CANopen
Static
These are equipped with a 2D MEMS accelerometer as sensor cell. This type of inclinometer achieves a high accuracy in a static system or when the machine is only in a slow motion. Static inclinometers can significantly improve operating safety in mobile machines, platform monitoring or medical applications by continuously monitoring the tilt or inclination angles. They are much easier and less expensive to install compared to Rotary Encoders, which makes them ideal for applications like solar trackers.
Accuracy 0.1° or 0.5°
Interfaces: CANopen, Analog Current, Analog Voltage, RS232, SSI, J1939, DeviceNet
A dual axis sensor is used for horizontal mounting and is ideal for leveling applications. This version got two outputs, one for the X-Axis and one for the Y-Axis. Each of the axes show the tilt angle with respect to the field of gravity.
A single axis tilt measurement version with one axis output is intended for vertical mounting.
