Functional principle

The inclinometers use an acceleration measuring cell to determine the angle. The Earth's gravity is used as a reference. If the inclinometer changes its angle relative to the Earth's gravity, this is detected by the acceleration measuring cell. The signal is then linearized so that a value proportional to the angle is output. The measuring principle used makes mounting and commissioning the device easy. The robust sensors are positioned with the cast side on a flat surface so that the casting compound is covered. The sensor is then secured with two screws. The sensor can also record the temperature, which can be used to monitor the condition of the machine.
