Accurate measurement of the degree of tilt or inclination
from a horizontal position is very important for many motion control
systems or to ensure safety. Inclination sensors offer an easy and
efficient way of monitoring spatial orientation without the need for
mechanical linkages – a real advantage for design engineers.
TILTIX Inclinometers are based on highly dynamic MEMS
(micro-Electro-mechanical Systems) technology or on high precision fluid
cell technology.
Fluid Cell
In fluid
filled inclinometers, the sensor cell is partially filled with an
electrolytic liquid while the walls are covered with a pair of
electrodes. As the sensor tilts, the level of fluid covering the
electrodes changes. This results in an increase or decrease in the
conductivity between the electrodes. The degree of tilt can be
calculated from this measurement. Fluid cell inclinometers are capable
of measuring inclinations of up to ±30° with a very high levels of
precision. The natural damping of the liquids makes these inclinometers
stable as well as precise.
