Description
NOTE: The Curtiss Wright STT280 Sealed tilt sensor is now a discontinued product as at MAY 2021. Please refer to VTS Series for alternate product solutions.
The Curtiss Wright STT280 sealed tilt sensor is designed to provide reliable, fit-and-forget tilt measurement sensing within an extremely compact housing, for the most arduous operating environments. The STT280 is suitable for use in applications such as road construction equipment, cranes and booms, scissor lifts, agricultural vehicles, container handling and hydraulic lift systems.
- No moving parts
- High resolution ±0.07°
- Absolute measurement
- Measuring ranges ±10°, ±20°, ±30° and ±60°
- Less than 6.5mA supply current
- Crush-proof mounting flange
- Rugged construction, sealed to IP68
The STT series uses solid-state, 3D-MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology to measure the sensor’s inclination relative to earth’s gravity. The STT280 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 sensor provides distinct advantages in reliability, stability and compactness over fluid based, electrolytic and pendulum operated sensors. It can operate from a 5Vdc regulated or 8-30Vdc unregulated supply.
The sensor body is manufactured from high strength corrosion resistant material and has a protection rating of IP68. A wide operating temperature range and EMC protection of 100V/m means the STT280 is ready for use in the harshest environments.
