The large angle Inductive Tilt Sensor TIPS P601 is a high accuracy analogue tilt sensor which offers outstanding performance and durability at low cost. The Tilt sensor uses inductive coils, created using printed circuit board layout techniques, to measure the position of a moving pendulous mass.
The electronic interface producing the output signal is combined into a single custom ASIC. The interface is built into the Tilt sensor and this gives a very compact and durable sensor. TIPS P601 provides a linear output characteristic over a 100° range. Tilt angles from 30° up 160° can be accommodated by factory calibration.
Each Tilt sensor is calibrated to the exact angle required so that it is optimised for the application.
The sensor has fluid damping to control the damping ratio over the operating temperature range. Hysteresis and repeatability of 1° is achieved with good linearity of 0.5% over +/-50°. Performance and stability are excellent over a wide temperature range up to 125°C.
The sensor has a robust housing sealed to IP65/IP67 and is suitable for a wide range of applications. The sensor is is available with a range of mounting and cable/connector options, including a servo mounting and a flange mounting.
