Functional principle
The TURCK inclinometers incorporate a
micromechanical pendulum, operating on the
principle of MEMS technology (Mikro Elektro
Mechanic Systems).
The pendulum basically consists of two 'plate'
electrodes arranged in parallel with a dielectric
placed in the middle. When the sensor is
inclined, the dielectric in the middle moves,
causing the capacitance ratio between both
electrodes to change.
The downstream electronics evaluates this
change in capacitance and generates a
corresponding output signal.
