Analogue and CANopen inclinometer series
Lika Electronic stands for encoders and ... inclinometers. The new IX single and dual axis
inclinometer series with analogue and CANopen interfaces is perfectly suited for dependable and
accurate angle measurement of inclination (pitch and roll) and rotational movements in tough
industrial environments such as construction vehicles, agricultural machinery,
mobile cranes, forklifts, bucket trucks.
IX series 1-axis and 2-axis inclinometers with analogue and
CANopen interface are designed to monitor pitch and roll
inclination angles and rotational movements and base on
MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology.
The measurement range is from ±5 deg up to ±60 deg in
2-axis models and 0÷360 deg / ±180 deg in 1-axis models
with very high resolution (up to 0.001 deg) and very high ac-
curacy (up to ±0.05 deg).
IX inclinometers are compact, rugged and IP67 protected. The
robust metal enclosure and the resin-coated electronics allow
for high protection against mechanical stresses, vibrations,
thermal shocks and moisture and enable the use in the in-
dustrial operating temperature range (up to -40°C +85°C /
-40°F +185°F).
IXA model provides analogue current (4÷20mA) and vol-
tage (0,5V ÷4,5V) signals in a cost competitive package.
IXB and IXC models are equipped with CANopen interface
in compliance with DS301 and DS410 profiles.
IXB is the high-performance model offering programmable
1-axis and 2-axis operation along with high resolution up to
0.001° and high accuracy up to typically ±0.05°.
IXC model is available in either single (IXC1) or dual (IXC2) axis
versions with medium accuracy values (±0.2°) in the same re-
solution range. CANopen models further add complete dia-
gnostics, programmable antivibration filter and an optional
temperature compensation feature to highly reduce the ther-
mal drift (0.002 deg/°C – IXB model only).
Cable and M12 connector options are available (other specific
standard automotive connectors can be provided on demand).
Thanks to their robust construction Lika inclinometers are de-
signed to cope with dirt, moisture, vibration, shock and extre-
me temperatures and are suitable for operation in harsh en-
vironments such as mobile equipment, construction vehicles,
material handling, mobile cranes, excavators, shovels, bucket
trucks, forklifts, agricultural machinery and equipment,
mowers, solar trackers, marine installations.
Yet they further provide the highest levels of safety and
performance in a variety of industries such as robotics,
electro-medical equipment, telecommunications.
