February 16, 2011 - ASM Sensors introduced PTAM5 dual axis inclinometer, based on MEMS-technology. This inclinometer is fitted with an extremely robust housing that has been designed for outdoor use in harsh environments. The measurement range for the single axis version is ±180° while the dual axis version is capable of ±60°. Inclinometers that are used in outdoor applications such as windmills and off-shore locations must be designed to handle severe weather conditions, temperature fluctuations and tough contamination. PTAM5 comes with a robust stainless steel housing to protect it for these adverse factors.
The inclinometer is easily and securely installed with four M8 bolts. The sturdy enclosure for this inclinometer is rated IP67/69K, with an optional IP68 rating. For single axis model, the measurement range is ±180° and ±60° for the dual axis model. Both models are available for smaller measurement ranges in ±15° increments.
The resolution is 0.05° with a linearity of ±0.5°. This inclinometer is available with the standard 4-20mA and 10V analog outputs as well as CANOpen and CAN SAE J1939.
