The measuring elements of the KAS211 high-resolution inclination sensors from a.b.Jödden are based on the capacitive measuring principle and, according to the supplier, offer high accuracy and impact resistance. This is achieved, among other things, by the three-layer "bulk" micromechanical technology with high-purity silicon. Thanks to the special design, no drift due to deformation of the test mass is to be expected even after hard impacts. The gas damping within the sensor element prevents resonance frequencies and overshooting. The sensor is installed in a waterproof housing (IP67/68), can be mounted via three mounting holes and connected with an M12 sensor plug. The 4 to 20 mA 3-wire signal output also enables longer connection cables. The inclination and acceleration sensors in the series are available as standard for one and two axes with measuring ranges from ±1.5° to ±90°. Resolutions of 0.0001°, reproducibilities of up to 0.01° and long-term stabilities of the same order of magnitude can be achieved. The hysteresis that occurs with rapid temperature changes (e.g. 0.02°) quickly returns to 0.
