2. Overview

2.1 Characteristics

The 1 and 2-dimensional biaxial inclinometers are suitable for measuring inclinations within the
ranges ±10°, ±45°, ±60° and 0-360°. The zero point and measurement range end values are factory
calibrated at 25°C to guarantee high accuracy.
The compact and robust design transforms the sensor into a suitable angle measurement device in a
harsh environment and for diverse industrial and automotive engineering applications. The standard-
ized CANopen interface allows user-friendly configuration and start-up. All parameters are stored in a
non-volatile memory buffer.
Kübler offers the following sensors:
