Tilt meter, tilt angle detector "CM-961A": Makome Research Institute, MEMS
CM-961A Inclination Angle Detector
The inclinometer "CM-961A" is an inclination sensor that uses a MEMS accelerometer. It features a metal case, making it durable, and has a protection structure of IP-67.
The tilt meter detects using a MEMS accelerometer (MEMS: Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems). Additionally, it is designed with a metal case to provide shock resistance and vibration resistance. It is compact (compared to our products). The output is available in two types: voltage output type 1-5V and current output type 4-20mA. As an additional feature, it includes a switch function. You can obtain transistor output at any desired tilt position (specified at the time of order). It has a function to correct installation errors, allowing for correction to 0° within a range of ±1°. There is a YouTube video available. Within the CM-900 series, there is also the "CM-936," which outputs a rotation angle of 360° linearly. It outputs the rotation angle from 0 to 360° as DC voltage 1-5V or current 4-20mA (specified at the time of order). For more details, please search for "CM-936" on the Ipros site. *For more information, please contact us or download the PDF document.
