Turck has developed a 3D inclinometer that can be adapted extensively and precisely to the requirements of an application via IO-Link. The B2N-360-Q42 has a double 360° measuring range and as with all comparable models is not limited to a maximum ±85°. Users can set individual vibration filters that precisely mask out the vibration frequency of the machine and can also define the zero point, switch points or switch windows according to the mounting position and requirements at hand. In addition the sensor suppresses potential error sources such as accelerations or shocks. The extensive range of assignable parameters and the maximum sensing range of 360° on two axes make the sensors suitable for virtually any application. This reduces the number of inclinometer variants that need to be kept in stock to a single type.
The B2N-360-Q42 can also be used for measuring vibration or shock. Turck offers two variants of the sensor. The industrial variant for the temperature range from -25 to 75°C is suitable for inclination measuring on solar panels or robots. The second variant is designed according to the E1 specification for use in utility vehicles and construction machinery. The E1 variant is resistant to extreme temperatures from -40 to 85°C and operates with the standard vehicle electrical power supply of 8-30 V. Both variants come with protection to IP69K. The output signal can be defined individually, an example being the standard signal ranges of 0-10 V or 4-20 mA.
