Inclination sensors | DIS sensors

The QG series of inclination sensors measures angles in 1 or 2 axes. These products are based on robust MEMS technology, in which capacitance differences can be converted into an analogue voltage within a micro-mechanical sensor chip. This analogue voltage is proportional to the angle to which the sensor is exposed. The modular design makes it easy to adapt the sensors to specific requirements.

How does an inclinometer work?

An inclination sensor is used in situations where accurate positioning or constant monitoring of the angle in relation to gravitational pull is essential. An inclination sensor measures the angle with respect to a horizontal position, whereby an imaginary line from the centre of the earth serves as a reference.

Easy to mount

An inclination sensor has a very wide range of applications since it can be mounted anywhere and offers flexibility in mechanical design. The sensor output has two components: a static (slope) component and a dynamic (acceleration) component. The sensor output is always a combination of these two components. The inclination sensors from DIS have a standard bandwidth of 10 Hz, although it is possible to reduce this bandwidth further at the client’s request.

DIS Introducing the Dynamic Inclinometer for Dynamic Environments

Dependable angle measurement is critical for machinery and structures, but vibrations often contaminate data, requiring complex solutions. Our dynamic inclinometer offers a cost-effective alternative.

What’s the angle?

In dynamic settings, machines are constantly in motion. Accurate real-time angle information is vital for safety and performance. Our inclinometer, with an integrated accelerometer, provides a universal direction reference.

Eliminating jitters

Traditional solutions introduce spikes due to shocks or vibrations, requiring filters and additional sensors. The DIS dynamic inclinometer, leveraging MEMS technology, provides a clean, gyro-compensated signal on three axes, eliminating the need for extra sensors.

Simply a clean signal

Built on an advanced MEMS chip, our dynamic inclinometer streamlines customization with a familiar form factor, predefined profiles, and a user-friendly configuration tool.
