Acceleration, Inclination & Tilt Sensors
Thread Tension Sensors
Micro-Sensor (formerly Mikrotechnik + Sensorik) GmbH sensors are
based on the principle of difference capacitance and are made for heavy
outside applications in industry and agriculture. The sensors are
lightweight, robust and resistant to fuel, oil, seawater and a lot of
chemicals.
Because of their design, all sensors can measure acceleration,
inclination and vibration.
Principle of Difference Capacitance
A difference capacitor consist of two conductive plates (blue).
Between theses plates is conductive “tongue“ (green). This system uses
MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) technology. Acceleration forces
(and gravity) move the tongue changing the capacitance. The change of
capacitance is proportional to the acceleration. In M+S designs the
plates and togue are replaced with small comb structures. Inertia and
resonance frequency determine upper frequency limits (around 2kHz).
There is no lower frequency limitation. This technique is also good for
measure inclination and tilt. Inclination and tilt measurements are
affected by gravity, so this is compensated for in the measurement.
Thread Tension Sensor
Micro-Sensor GmbH thread tension sensor systems use the same
principles measuring thread tension in textile machines and wire
production. They measure the force of a yarn, thread or wire with high
precision up to 25cN, 50cN and 100cN.
