ICS product selector
Industrial inclinometers by measurement task.
Choose the motion class first. Then agree the range, error budget, enclosure and controller interface.
| Family / task | Range & orientation | Accuracy target | Interface request | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ICS-DUAL Static leveling | Dual-axis X/Y ±5°, ±10°, ±15°, ±30°, ±45°, ±60°, ±90°; single-axis vertical 0–360° | ±0.05°–±0.1° static target | Dual-channel 4–20 mA, 0–5 V, 0–10 V, RS485 Modbus RTU or CANopen | Configure RFQ ↗Request engineering files |
| ICS-DYN Moving machinery | Dual-axis pitch / roll targets up to ±90°; single-axis vertical requests require configuration review. Heading requires a separate reference and agreed drift limits. | ±0.1°–±0.2° dynamic target | SAE J1939, CANopen, RS485 or 4–20 mA — configuration-specific | Configure RFQ ↗Request engineering files |
| ICS-PREC Precision alignment | Small-range options ±1°, ±3°, ±5°, ±10°, ±15° and ±30° | ±0.002°–±0.005° target | Request analog or digital interface and the matching sampling / filtering specification. | Configure RFQ ↗Request engineering files |
| ICS-GEO Long-term monitoring | Horizontal / vertical tilt beams; network architecture reviewed per installation. | ±0.005° angular target | RS485 Modbus RTU; LoRa options subject to local radio requirements. | Configure RFQ ↗Request engineering files |
| ICS-DSP Sensor + readout | X/Y pitch and roll display; panel or bracket mounting options. | Determined by paired sensor | Matched RS485 or analog sensor input — not every display supports every protocol. | Configure RFQ ↗Request engineering files |
This selector compares series-level requests. A released model, mounting drawing and written quotation establish the supplied configuration and performance. Precision interface and axis choices need configuration review.
Static MEMS or gyro-compensated dynamic?
Match the motion before the resolution.
Static or slow-moving equipment
Start with ICS-DUAL for solar trackers, platform leveling and stationary machinery. For micro-tilt monitoring, review ICS-PREC or ICS-GEO and the temperature error budget.
Acceleration, vibration or sudden stops
Review ICS-DYN for moving excavator booms, loader buckets and vehicles. Sensor fusion reduces apparent tilt from motion; validate dynamic error, bandwidth and recovery against your duty cycle.
