The F260-21A-018-00 ApexTwo™ is a dual-axis high-precision analog inclinometer sensor with analog 0.5 to 4.5 V DC outputs for each axis. The ApexTwo™ is an ideal tilt measurement solution for heavy industrial machinery, including agricultural equipment and vehicles, and construction vehicles. Its wide linear operating range and analog output, combined with a uniquely designed vertically or horizontally mountable enclosure, make integrating into new or existing equipment simple.
The Fredericks Company’s inclinometers combine our proven electrolytic tilt sensors with electrolytic tilt sensor circuits to make robust inclinometer solutions for use in various markets and applications. Our electrolytic tilt sensing technology makes these inclinometers extremely stable with minimal long-term drift compared to MEMS devices. It is an easy-to-use inclinometer package that’s simple to integrate.
