BSI Inclination Sensors – For Special Demands

Balluff, the sensor specialist, has launched new, liquid-based BSI Inclination Sensors that detect deviations to the horizontal on an axis over a full 360° contact-free and absolutely. With an extremely high accuracy of 0.1°C, a resolution of 0.01° and a temperature drift of just 0.01%/10K, they are the ideal choice when, in complex applications, inclination angles need to be precisely detected or rotary movements must be constantly tracked. BSI inclination sensors feature a compact and robust metal housing with an enclosure rating of IP 67 and can be easily installed in systems with limited space. With an expanded temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, the sensors are virtually predestined for outdoor applications. The highly precise, high-end sensors show their true strength, however, where deviations from the horizontal or to the vertical axis are to be determined with high resolution and accuracy: e.g., in wind power stations, in solar-thermal power plants, oil and gas production plants and in medical technology, for example, in computer tomography and irradiation facilities. Balluff BSI inclination sensors are based on a capacitive measuring principle and are equipped with a liquid-based measuring cell. These consist of four capacitors filled with a liquid dielectric. Depending on the inclination of the sensor, the "horizon" of this medium covers the capacitors differently, causing the capacitance as measure for the inclination angle to change. The analog output signal from 4 – 20mA is scaled linearly over the angular range of 360°C.The company also offers Electronic Cylinder Switch, Power Supply for Wind Energy Equipment, Power Supply for Wind Energy Equipment, Vision Sensor, Sensors, etc.
