STT500 Series

Sealed Tilt Sensor, Fit-And-Forget Measurement Ranges From ±10°, ±20°, ±30°, and ±60°.

The STT500 sealed tilt sensor is designed to provide reliable, fit-and-forget tilt measurement sensing within an extremely rugged cast aluminum housing, for the most arduous operating environments.

  • No moving parts
  • High-resolution ±0.07°
  • Absolute measurement
  • Measuring ranges ±10°, ±20°, ±30° and ±60°
  • Less than 6.5mA supply current
  • Marine-grade, cast-aluminum housing with 88mm dia. flange
  • Rugged construction, sealed to IP69K
  • Choice of cable outputs

The STT500 has a choice of measurement ranges from ±10°, ±20°, ±30° and ±60° and provides a 0.5 to 4.5Vdc output signal over this range, with a nominal 2.5Vdc at 0° tilt. By using this technology, the STT500 provides distinct advantages in reliability, stability, and compactness over fluid based electrolytic and pendulum operated sensors.

The STT500 is suitable for use in applications such as road construction equipment, cranes and booms, scissor lifts, agricultural vehicles, container handling and hydraulic lift systems.
