Industrial duty inclinometer for single or dual axis tilt measurement
BEI Sensors' newly announced industrial duty inclinometer is now available from Variohm EuroSensor.
The T-series sensor provides high resolution (0.01º) and high accuracy (0.1º) measurement of inclination (pitch and roll) or rotation movement with a dual axis range of +/-60º or an optional single axis measurement range of 360º.
For maximum application flexibility the unit can be supplied with optional 4 to 20mA or 0.5 to 4.5V analogue outputs with a CANopen version also available.
The fully encapsulated sensor is supplied in a choice of glass fibre reinforced plastic or aluminium housing for maximum durability. Its IP68 rating can be extended to IP69K with an optional sealed 5pin M12A mating connector. A cabled version with connector is also available.
The compact inclinometer, measuring just 83 x 59 x 21.5mm for the slightly larger aluminium housed unit, features advanced MEMS technology with integral linearity and temperature compensation for both offset and sensitivity to offer the best combination of precision, responsiveness and long life.
Built to withstand high levels of shock and vibration, the T-series is aimed at demanding harsh-environment safe level position monitoring and tilt measurement applications for industrial equipment such as mobile cranes, forklifts, drilling towers, construction and agricultural machinery.
