DOG2 MEMS Series Inclinometer

The dual-axis inclinometer from TE Connectivity is mainly developed with focus on platform leveling, dynamic engine management, tip-over protection, and tilt alarm. A fast response time and good accuracy make this device the ideal choice for mobile leveling applications. It features digital signal processing including temperature compensation. The integrated filter improves performance and allows the use of the sensor in many noisy environments (for example, vibrations).

The inclinometer includes a powerful digital signal processing that offers various filter algorithms and allows customer specific adaptions. It is possible to adjust the sensor to different environments to yield an optimized performance. Customization can also be made in terms of angular range and connectivity, such as with cable and connector. The PA6.6 housing is very compact in size and has compression limiter bushings for safe installation of the sensor. In contrast to uncoated (casted) aluminum, PA6.6 is resistant to atmospheric attack. It is compatible with oil, grease, and fuel; therefore, it is frequently used for engine and vehicle applications.
