Description

Inclination sensors detect the orientation angle of an object in relation to the gravitational field of the earth. The fields of application for these sensors are diverse. In cranes or excavators, the inclination angle of the booms is measured to calculate whether the machine stays within the safety regulations specified by the manufacturer.

The sensor has a measuring range of up to 360° and offers an extraordinarily high accuracy and precision over the entire measuring range. The measured value resolution is 0.01°.
