In storms or other turbulence, pilots need to know how the plane is orientated and the angle at which the plane is tilted toward Earth’s surface. If the plane’s nose is tilted downward at a 45-degree ...

If you’re trying to detect the orientation of an object, sometimes you really don’t need a 6DOF gyro and accelerometer. Hell, if you only need to detect if an object is tilted, you can get a simple ...

Tilt sensors are essential components in security alarm systems today. Standalone tilt sensors sense tilt angle or movement. Tilt sensors can be implemented using mercury and roller ball technology, ...

When project inspiration strikes, we’d love to do some quick tests immediately to investigate feasibility. Sadly we’re usually far from our workbench and its collection of sensor modules. This is ...

An inclination or tilt sensor provides angular-tilt information relative to gravitational force. This information can then be used to change the characteristics of the device. For example, tilt ...

The Single-Axis Linear Output Electrolytic Tilt Sensor has a ±30-arc minimum angle range. The sensor is designed for applications needing ultrahigh accuracy, excellent null repeatability, and linear ...
