Whether single or dual axis: Our robust sensors measure angles of inclination with high precision and detect the exact location of machines, tools and operation, radiation or MET tables. Balluff sensor technology has proven successful both in medical technology and in the industry.
Balluff's Nonius 2-track absolute encoder disc technology, when combined with a high-quality sensing chip, delivers unparalleled accuracy for rotary valve position feedback. The system allows indexing of the rotating mechanism to a precise angular location, within < ±0.2° absolute error per rotation.
Unlike resistive potentiometer solutions, magnetic encoders are non-contact and wear-free for long service life. Other advantages of magnetic encoders for valve position feedback include immunity from contamination by dirt, dusts, and liquids, and higher tolerance of shock and vibration.
Balluff's magnetically-coded angle measurement system integrated into the direct-drive torque motor makes it possible to precisely position the tool pivoting system. Electrical power, coolant lines, and data cables can pass through the large hollow shaft inside the encoder ring, where they are better protected and subjected to reduced stress from rotational twisting.
Hydraulic artificial lifts need to be placed precisely over the borehole so that side loads and component wear are minimized as much as possible. Balluff's inclination sensors offer non-contact angle measurement for precise vertical alignment in multiple axes. The sensors operate by measuring the deviation from horizontal, up to 360° (one complete rotation).
Examination tables are used to support patients in the proper position during medical examinations. In some instances examination tables need to be in particular positions to aid the transfer of people with mobility disabilities from wheel chairs. Balluff's inclination sensors enable precise positioning of the table to the most comfortable and preferred position.
Balluff inclination sensors reliably monitor the tilt movements of the conveyor belt. This allows the belt to be accurately guided when it is moved for the subsequent work steps. The inclination sensors guarantee a high accuracy of 0.1° and very low temperature drift.

To achieve the highest possible level of efficiency in parabolic trough power plants, all troughs must be continuously adjusted to follow the sun's path across the sky. At the same time, the receiver tubes must also be located at the focal point. Practical, reliable sun tracking requires position sensors built to withstand the extreme environmental conditions found in most desert installations, where wide temperature swings can occur throughout the day and night and with the change of seasons. Balluff's magnetic tape and ring encoders deliver the right combination of accuracy, price, and environmental rugged to get the job done.
To implement remote, automated control of water levels at dams means that the position of water level and flood control gates must be measured electronically. Balluff's inclination / angle sensors can be mounted direction to the moving portion of the gate itself.
Strong gusts of wind and sustained high winds during storms can exert strong forces on the tower of a wind turbine. Balluff's inclination sensors offer non-contact angle measurement to indicate the deflection from vertical and the corresponding amount of stress on the tower structure.
Precise location monitoring and continuous guiding of rotary movements are critical when transporting slabs. BSI inclination sensors are an outstanding solution to this challenge. On the walking beam they measure the deviation from the horizontal line on an axis by up to 360° – non-contact and with the highest precision.
