Inclinometers for demanding transportation applications

Four new series of Murata inclination sensors that boast excellent shock durability in the MEMS market are now available in Europe at TTI Europe. The inclinometers help determine the 3D position of agriculture and construction equipment when operating in rough outdoor environments, as well as high accuracy levelling and inclination measurement instruments and platform levelling and stabilization applications. Murata inclination sensors combine high performance with excellent stability over temperature and time for extended product lifecycles. The SCA830-D07 Series is a single axis inclinometer which integates high accuracy micromechanical acceleration sensing together with a digital SPI interface. The series is designed, manufactured and tested for the high stability, reliability and quality requirements of automotive applications such as hill start aids, electronic parking brakes, roll over detection and suspension control. It boasts extensive self-diagnostic features and is qualified to AEC-Q-100 standard. Supplied in a RoHS-compliant dual flat lead (DFL) plastic package for guaranteed reliability over its lifetime, the device is part of the company’s digital accelerometer family and is fully compatible with their single axis accelerometers (SCA800 Series) and other multi axis accelerometers (SCA2100 Series and SCA3100 Series).
