Digital output inclinometer
Keywords Inclinometer, Position measurement
This high accuracy 360° digital output inclinometer a rugged, non-contact measuring transducer, developed for electronic levelling utilises a fluid-filled, variable capacitance angle sensor in conjunction with a microprocessor, offering angular measurement with both enhanced resolution and (0.05°) accuracy (see Plate 6).
A compact low-cost device, the ISU has two digital outputs via an RS-232 port and pulse width modulation (PWM) formats, in addition to 4-bit addressing.
Plate 6 The compact, low-cost device can be used in a diverse range of applications
The device, available from EuroSensor, can be used in a diverse range of applications covering:
- •
wheel alignment;
- •
medical "range-of-motion"
- •
antenna elevation;
- •
police work;
- •
hospital beds;
- •
construction equipment;
- •
machine tools; and
- •
formula one.
