ASC TS-92V1/TS-92V5 Biaxial MEMS capacitive tilt sensor

Biaxial MEMS capacitive tilt sensors with high resolution, analog output, and IP67/IP68 protection for construction, transport and marine applications


Key features

  • Biaxial measurement with two independent MEMS sensors at 90°
  • Measuring ranges: ±15° and ±90°
  • Resolution: 0.005°
  • Excellent long-term bias stability (0.1°/year)
  • Low temperature coefficient of bias (0.02 °/°C)
  • Wide operating temperature range (−40 °C … +120 °C)
  • Shock resistance up to 5,000 g
  • Analog ±2 V output (standard), optional 4–20 mA output
  • Operates on +6 to +36 VDC

Performance highlights

The ASC TS-92V1 and TS-92V5 are biaxial MEMS capacitive tilt sensors designed for reliable inclination measurement in demanding environments. Both models measure tilt in two perpendicular axes using independent low-g MEMS accelerometers. This results in a resolution of 0.005° and long-term bias stability of 0.1° per year. The sensors output a nominal ±2 V swing for ±90° tilt, with linear response within ±15°.

Their robust design includes shock resistance up to 5,000 g, stable operation between −40 °C and +120 °C, and immunity to supply voltage fluctuations (6–36 VDC). An optional 4–20 mA current output is available for industrial control systems.

Usage conditions

The ASC TS-92V1 features a lightweight aluminium IP67 housing, making it suitable for mobile or weight-sensitive systems. The ASC TS-92V5, with its stainless steel IP68 housing, is designed for harsh environments such as marine or outdoor construction where full waterproof protection is required.

Applications

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

Advantages of choosing these sensors

The TS-92V1 and TS-92V5 provide engineers with flexibility: a lightweight aluminium model for compact setups, and a robust stainless steel model for outdoor and marine environments. Both combine high resolution, long-term stability and durable design, ensuring reliable tilt measurement across industries.
