Inclination sensors
Precise position control for various applications
Precise position control and the continuous tracking and monitoring of rotary movements are essential in many applications. Our BSI inclination sensors measure the deviation from a horizontal or vertical axis up to 360°.
With two different measuring principles and various angle ranges, Balluff inclinometers are suitable for numerous industries and applications. You can choose between inclinometers with one or two measuring axes.

Application examples
Application examples from various industrial sectors demonstrate the wide range of uses for inclinometers. They detect precise inclination angles and movements of machines, systems and vehicles and thus contribute to exact positioning and process monitoring. Thanks to their robust design and high-precision, temperature-compensated measuring principle, they are extremely reliable and repeatable - even under harsh environmental conditions. They therefore meet a wide range of industrial automation requirements and ensure consistently high measurement quality.
