To address these challenges, ASM Sensors Inc., Elmhurst, Ill., recently introduced its Positilit PTK29 inclination sensor that compensates for dynamic influences to give correct values even when in motion. The sensor measures ±180° inclination in one axis or ±60° in two axes. Using gyro-compensated MEMS technology, the sensor position signal is instantaneous with no delays and has a static linearity up to 0.05°.
The PTK29 can be mounted with selectable axis orientation. The sensor electronics are completely enclosed and protected by a hermetically sealed stainless steel housing. The compact, 10-mm flat and 49.5-mm (or less) wide sensor housing allows mounting in tight spaces. The sensor is also available in a hermetically sealed stainless steel housing with redundant output options for safety-critical applications.
The sensor is shielded against electromagnetic disturbances and available in protection class IP67. It can operate in areas of high shock and vibration in temperatures from −40° to 85°C.
