Turck, global industry experts in automation technology for factory, process, and logistics automation, have announced the recent enhancement of its QR20 inclinometer portfolio to include several new models featuring conventional analog outputs. These sensors, already recognized for their high performance in both dynamic and static applications, now offer even greater flexibility by combining advanced MEMS and gyroscope technology with a range of configurable analog outputs.
The addition of analog outputs improves compatibility with traditional industrial automation systems, making it easier to integrate the sensors into applications where precise measurement is essential. Users can select from standard output options such as 0–10 V and 4–20 mA, or configure additional ranges, including 0–20 mA, 0.1–4.9 V, 0–5 V, and 0.5–4.5 V, using Turck’s IODD Configurator. These customizable outputs allow for precise scaling of the sensor’s measuring range, ensuring optimal performance even in narrow-angle scenarios.
The QR20 inclinometers generate their signal through the fusion of MEMS acceleration and gyroscope data, providing a robust measuring principle that compensates for shock and vibration. This makes them especially effective in dynamic environments, such as moving machinery and vibrating machines, where positioning and lifting applications require accuracy and stability.
In addition to their technical capabilities, these sensors are designed for ease of installation. The built-in LED spirit level function allows for quick and reliable setup, with a flashing LED indicating the sensor’s horizontal position. This eliminates the need for additional accessories, while the durable translucent housing ensures reliable operation, even in demanding industrial environments.
Typical applications for Turck QR20 inclinometers include intralogistics, packaging machinery, and industrial machine building, where their dynamic performance, precision, and adaptability are key to maintaining operational efficiency and reliability.
