Inclinometer sensors may be used in a wide variety of applications to solve unique feedback requirements where the customer needs to level platforms or control tilt angle.

Inclinometers measure angular tilt in reference to gravity. TURCK inclinometers contain a MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) device that incorporates a microelectromechanical capacitive element into the sensor that utilizes two parallel plate electrodes, one stationary and one attached to a spring-mass system. The suspended electrode is free to move with the change in angle relative to earth’s gravity. This results in a measurable change in the capacitance between the two plates that is proportional to the angle of deflection.

The microprocessor design and the MEMS technology allows for a compact, precise inclinometer in a very robust, industrialized package. The inclinometer carries an IP68 rating for ingress protection, and can operate in temperatures from -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F), with the option for -40°C (-40°F). These sensors can be mounted up to a maximum of ±85° angle for dual axis models and 360° for single axis models.
