Evaluation-Kit
The kit offers the user the opportunity to test the sensor for four weeks at no charge.
» More Information
An inclination sensor determines the position angle of an object in relation to the Earth’s gravitational field. The principle of how the different versions of the fluid 360° inclination sensor , developed and patented by 2E, functions is based on the change of capacity of the differential capacity configuration, dependent on the inclination. For digital outputs it provides a measurement accuracy of ±0.1°over the entire measurement and temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
Further advantages compared to other systems available on the market:
- contactless & absolute measurement
- low transverse gradient sensitivity
- measurement range 360°
- capacitive measurement principle
- protection class IP67
- maintenance-free
- easy installation
We look forward to receiving your enquiries and would be pleased to provide you with information on customer specific requirements.
Fields of application for inclination sensors
Possible fields of application for inclination sensors include, for example, construction vehicles and farm machinery, automobile straightening benches, solar modules and wind turbines, treatment units, mobile scales, laser distance meters as well as shutter control systems. For hand-held devices such as laser distance meters limited space usually requires the use of the OEM version. It is also already temperature-compensated and allows for a precise calculation of distances, angles or even volumes. The versions in aluminium housings provide a long-lasting, reliable service life in rough environments such as on excavators, whereby several sensors integrated in the excavator control system calculate the exact position of the individual components. In combination with GPS and terrain data this provides the capability of semi-autonomous operation of the machines.
