Inertial Aerosystems DAS-XX-MA-232 dual-axis digital tilt sensors are suitable where space and weight are at a premium.
Inertial Aerosystems has released a range of low-cost, dual-axis digital tilt sensors.
The DAS-XX-MA-232 range contains nine models all of which are microprocessor-based and use solid state, micromachined technology to produce temperature compensated angular values over the range of +/-10, +/-15 and +/-30 degrees full-scale with resolutions of up to +/-0.01 degree.
Available bareboard or enclosed in a toughened ABS enclosure that measures 94 x 94 x 55mm and weighing only 25g these devices are suitable where space and weight are at a premium.
Sampling of the two axes is made over 25ms with auto zero.
Output is serial TTL of angle and temperature.
The dual-axis inclinometer exhibits low power consumption at 5V DC (option 7-30V DC) and high resistance to mechanical shock of 1000g, whilst the board model measures 44 x 44mm.
the sensor is temperature compensated 0 to 60C with an option of -20 to + 80C.
The enclosed model (5V) is available either without cable or as plug and play with a USB cable and software for graphic display of tilt and temperature.
applications include platform levelling, pitch and roll, auto wheel testing, crane angle control, robotics, machine stabilisation, antenna positioning and agricultural machinery.
