Functional principle

The TURCK inclinometers incorporate a

micromechanical pendulum, operating on the

principle of MEMS technology (Mikro Elektro

Mechanic Systems).

The pendulum basically consists of two 'plate'

electrodes arranged in parallel with a dielectric

placed in the middle. When the sensor is

inclined, the dielectric in the middle moves,

causing the capacitance ratio between both

electrodes to change.

The downstream electronics evaluates this

change in capacitance and generates a

corresponding output signal.
