SAE2 - Inclination Sensor

SAE2

Gyro compensated 3-axis angular sensor
  • Both pitch/roll and 360° angle sensor
  • 0.1° accuracy
  • Gyro and acceleration sensor fusion
  • Rugged stainless steel 316 housing
  • Small sensor format
  • Software configurable

Made to endure

The SAE2 is a high accuracy angle CAN sensor. It is specifically designed to be used in demanding machine guidance applications. It can be software configured as a full 360° angle sensor, a +-180° pitch roll sensor. Its stainless steel housing and connectors provide protection in the harshest environments.

MEMS
MEMS technology

This fully solid state inclination sensor has a three axis accelerometer and gyro MEMS technology on board. These MEMS not only give you low noise highly reproducible accurate measurements but also make them stable over temperature.

Ensured accuracy

Every 8 milliseconds the internal position engine will determine the 3D inclination of the sensor. The engine fuses the measurements from the gyro and acceleration sensor through a Kalman filter that is specifically tuned for machine control applications giving you best in class results.

Durable
Stainless steel housing

Both the housing and the connectors are stainless steel giving you years of corrosion free usage even in salt water conditions.

CAN
Configurable over CAN bus

The sensor is fully software configurable over the CAN bus. Different output parameters are available with configurable update rates.

Possibilities
Multifunctional sensor

There are also 24 possible freedoms for mounting the sensor in every position imaginable.
