AccuStar inclinometer

Available in a range of ±60°, the AccuStar electronic inclinometer is an accurate angle measurement device. The compact and rugged sensor is suitable where space is critical and environmental conditions are serious design concerns.

The heart of the system is a capacitance-based sensor with no moving parts. When rotated about its sensitive axis, the sensor provides a linear variation in capacitance, which is electronically converted into angular data. The sensor and low-power CMOS electronics are encased in a rugged plastic housing ready to install as a system component or as a standalone device. Designed for easy integration, with a choice of analog, ratiometric, digital or serial models, the inclinometer produces an output signal corresponding to the direction and magnitude of angular displacement.
