Dynamic Inclination Sensor with Unique Angular Stability

Have you ever tried to hang a picture horizontally using a spirit level? Yes, it's easy — the bubble of the spirit level indicates when the picture is hanging horizontally. Have you ever tried to keep the bucket of a wheel loader horizontal while the machine is accelerating, braking, or travelling over a gravel path or potholes? No, of course not — neither a spirit level vial nor even a static inclination sensor is able to provide a meaningful value in this case! The new IMU F99 inclination sensor from Pepperl+Fuchs provides reliable inclination values for dynamic applications like these because it is able to immediately filter out external interference (e.g. potholes). The unique software adjustment via CAN bus also ensures excellent angular quality, even when the driving behavior of machines varies greatly.
