This electrolytic tilt sensor (also sometimes called an electronic tilt sensor) gives a wide-range measurement up to ±45° with high accuracy of ±0.1° and linearity in two axes (dual-axis measurement). It has an industrial-grade, all-metal, and hermetically sealed sensor design for use in the most extreme environments. This sensor has a smaller, lower profile than our other 0717 series sensors. This sensor is similar in cost and accuracy to other 0717 series sensors from our metal and glass electrolytic options.
All of our electrolytic sensors require an electrolytic tilt sensor circuit (also commonly referred to as signal conditioning or a signal conditioner) to provide a tilt angle output. This can be built into your system or you can purchase an electrolytic tilt sensor circuit we’ve designed. Our circuits are optimized for the best performance from our electronic tilt sensors.
To learn more about the principles of electrolytic sensors and how to integrate our sensors into your application, see our Technical Information page. Confused about terminology? The following terms are often used interchangeably, though they have slightly different meanings; tilt sensor, electrolytic tilt sensor, and electronic tilt sensor.
