Inclination sensors are used in stationary and mobile applications to measure and reliably monitor an inclination angle. Typical areas of application for inclination sensors are construction and agricultural machinery such as excavators, wheel loaders, tractors or harvesters, forklifts, cranes, lifting platforms, but also wind turbines, telescopes and robots.

Compared to other inclination sensors on the market, the inclination sensors in the YN58-series from ipf electronic are characterized by some special features that are not visible at first glance.

For example, there is a very easy-to-read LED display inside the sensors to visualize the tilt angle. In addition, four crosshair LEDs are arranged around the display to indicate the sensor‘s tilt direction during installation. This makes installation and commissioning of the devices extremely easy.

The devices in the YN58-series detect the tilt angle in both the X and Y directions with a repeat accuracy of 0.03°, with a total of three variants available: YN580020 (-10° to +10°), YN580021 ( -45° to +45°) and YN580022 (-85° to +85°).

The tilt angles are measured contactlessly via a high-precision microelectromechanical sensor element (MEMS) with an intelligent microcontroller. Two analog outputs are available for evaluation, which provide a signal of 4...20mA over the entire measuring range. Both the start and end values of the analog signal can be freely parameterized. The robust aluminum housing of the

sensors has protection class IP67 and is suitable for ambient temperatures from -25°C to +80°C. The connection is made via a 5-pin M12-connector.
