ACCELENS Inclinometers for Industrial Settings
 |
POSITAL has introduced ACCELENS (ACS), a new line of low-cost inclinometers that provide both analog and digital outputs. These versatile devices are available in a wide range of configurations designed to satisfy almost any requirements. Two-axis versions measure angular displacements of up to ± 80º in both axes, while single axis models have a range of 0 – 360º and can be used as replacements for single-turn potentiometers or rotary encoders. Both versions are compact and easy to install. A unique factory calibration ensures an accuracy and linearity of < 0.1º over their entire range.
The electronic interface for these units provides a combination of digital and analog outputs and inputs. Analog outputs – either current (4 – 20 mA) or voltage (0.5 – 4.5 V) – make it easy to use these inclinometers with simple analog control systems. ACS inclinometers can also provide digital output via an RS232 interface. The RS232 interface also makes it easy to program device parameters such as zero-offset, reporting mode (continuous or polled), reporting rate and baud rate. For larger-scale system, ACS inclinometers are available with a CANopen certified interface.
These devices are suitable for use in harsh conditions, boasting an IP 69K rating. Some applications include solar power (sun-tracking) and mobile machines including cranes/lifts and drilling/mining. Their moulded polyurethane enclosure provides excellent dust- and moisture-resistance, while their rugged internal components can withstand shock loads of up to 30 g and vibrations as high as 5 g.
