Many applications require the measurement of angles and inclines to ensure safe operation of machinery or to control the movements of automatic processes.
An incline is defined as any deviation from the vertical or horizontal axis, inclinometers allow an easy and efficient way to measure this deviation without direct coupling to shafts or other actuators. This fact and a high protection class allow them to be placed almost anywhere, providing more flexibility for design engineers.
Inclinometers also allow simultaneous measurement of two axes with a single sensor, which can also reduce the design and engineering effort compared to other sensor systems.
Fraba of Germany has a range of industrial grade inclinometers with an extensive range of standard industrial protocols, Profibus, DeviceNET etc, including analog and set point versions.
