Inclination Sensor

Precise Inclination Measurement and Data Logging of Industrial Equipment

The operating principle of the newly developed fluid inclination sensors from 2E, is based on the inclination dependent changes of a difference capacity. Using the two halves of the housing and a spacer disc a cylindrical cavity can be formed that is half-filled with a dielectric fluid. Two semi-circular electrodes are housed on the front side and on the other side there is a circular electrode. By inclining the measuring cell horizontally the dielectric fluid can maintain its position as a result of gravity. The capacitor changes depending on the angle of inclination between the electrode pairs which can be electronically recorded and evaluated.
