ASC TS-91V1 / TS-91V5 Uniaxial MEMS capacitive tilt sensors

High-resolution uniaxial MEMS tilt sensors with analog output, wide measuring ranges, and IP67/IP68 protection for industrial, marine and construction applications


Key features

  • Uniaxial measurement with high resolution (0.005°)
  • Measuring ranges: ±15° and ±90°
  • Low temperature coefficient of bias (0.02 °/°C)
  • Excellent long-term bias stability (0.1° per year)
  • Wide operating temperature: −40 °C to +120 °C
  • Shock resistance up to 5,000 g
  • Analog voltage output, 4-wire system
  • Optional 4–20 mA current output

 

 


Performance

The ASC TS-91V1 and TS-91V5 are uniaxial MEMS capacitive tilt sensors engineered for precise inclination measurements in demanding applications. They use highly sensitive low-g MEMS accelerometers to detect static acceleration caused by gravity. With a resolution of 0.005° and long-term bias stability of 0.1° per year, both sensors ensure reliable performance over extended periods .

They provide a nominal full-scale output of ±2 V for ±90° tilt, with linear response within ±15°. Operating from a wide supply voltage (+6 to +36 VDC), they consume just 2 mA per axis, making them highly energy efficient. Both models withstand shocks up to 5,000 g and provide stable operation from −40 °C to +120 °C.

Usage conditions

The TS-91V1 features a lightweight anodized aluminium housing (IP67), ideal for compact or weight-sensitive systems. The TS-91V5 offers stainless steel housing with IP68 protection, making it robust enough for marine, construction, or other harsh outdoor environments.

Applications

  • Crane safety systems
  • Building and construction machinery
  • Solar tracking systems
  • Ship navigation and posture measurement
  • Bridge monitoring
  • Track alignment and railway maintenance
  • Wheel alignment systems
  • Truck chassis levelling
  • Machine tool angle positioning

Advantages of choosing these sensors

The ASC TS-91V1 and TS-91V5 offer engineers flexibility: a lightweight aluminium version for compact and mobile setups, and a rugged stainless steel version for maximum durability. Both deliver high precision, long-term stability, and reliable analog output.
