About the ASC TS-92V1 / TS-92V5 MEMS Capacitive Tilt Sensor

MEMS capacitive accelerometers measure both static and dynamic accelerations. Tilt is a static measurement where earth’s gravity is the acceleration being measured. The change in degrees of tilt corresponds to a change in acceleration due to a changing component of gravity that acts on the accelerometer. Low-g accelerometers with high sensitivity result in the highest degree of resolution of a tilt measurement. For a tilt from -90° to +90°, the ASC MEMS capacitive accelerometer experiences acceleration from -1g to +1g. The analog output from the tilt sensor (Vout) can be converted to the degree of tilt (Ø) using the following equation:

Ø = arcsin ((Vout - Offset) / Sensitivity)

ASC’s tilt sensors yield a nominal full scale output of ±2V for an acceleration of ±1g, which corresponds to a tilt of ±90°. The nominal bias or offset (output at 0g or 0°) is < ±10mV (< ±0.29°) and the output swing is from -2V to +2V with a linear response in the range < ±15°.

ASC’s tilt sensors TS-9XVY, feature an analog voltage output and are available in two versions, uniaxial and biaxial. Biaxial tilt sensors contain two independent MEMS sensors oriented at 90° to each other to allow perpendicular tilt measurement. ASC’s tilt sensors feature either a light-weight anodized aluminium housing, which provides case isolation against ground loops or a robust stainless steel housing, which has an IP68 rating. The sensor sensitivity and bias is extremely stable over a wide temperature range from -40°C to +120°C. The sensors can be powered using a 6-36 VDC supply, where the output is independent of the supply. ASC’s tilt sensors can withstand shocks as 5000g and feature an aluminium housing (78g) or stainless steel housing (192g) with an integral cable. The sensors can be configured with a 4-20 mA current output as an option, by a temperature range from -20 to +70°C.
