    The PTAM2 Series, the latest in the Positilt family of MEMS-based inclinometers, features ranges of ±5 to ±180° for single axis and ±5 to ±60° for dual axes

    The PTAM2 Series, the latest in the Positilt family of MEMS-based inclinometers, features ranges of ±5 to ±180° for single axis and ±5 to ±60° for dual axes. Featuring an IP67/IP69Krated all-metal housing, the industrial grade sensor provides a high-resolution, linear output signal proportional to the inclination angle. The PTAM2 Series comes with four different absolute analog outputs: 0.5 to10 V, 4 to 20 mA, voltage sine(x), and CANopen with a 0.05° resolution. Output signal response time is 0.1 to 2.0 sec, in 0.1-sec increments. Measurement ranges are from ±5 to ±180° in 5° increments.
