Page 2:2Monitoring tower tiltConstantly changing wind conditions cause abrupt load changesin wind turbines. Particularly during strong gusts of wind, storms ora wind energy system's start-up phase, towers can tilt so much thatthe overall system lifetime is affected. A inclination sensor can reducethis stress on the system. It reliably measures the absolute angle ofinclination and ensures that limit values are not exceeded.■■ Easy to install■■ Temperature range of –40 to 85 °C■■ Rugged metal housingWind energy systems Solar-thermal power plantsPositioning parabolic troughsParabolic trough systems can provide power continuously for24 hours a day. During the hot midday period, electricity is producedand a salt storage tank is heated, which sustains the water-steamcircuit during the night. The highest possible temperatures have tobe present in the solar field for this. These temperatures have to beachieved by optimally aligning the parabolic troughs to the positionof the sun. BSI absolute inclination sensors ensure this precise posi-tioning and thus increase the efficiency of the solar energy system.■■ Compact, robust metal housing eases installation■■ Analog output signal for continuously detecting the positionof parabolic troughs, even after power failure■■ Precise measurement for accurate positioning: accuracyover a full 360°■■ Contactless and absolute measuring principle■■ High repeat accuracy and precision■■ Extremely low temperature driftThe precise position control and continuous positioning of rotationalmovements are of great importance in many applications. Balluff BSIinclination sensors measure the deviation from the horizontal on anaxis of up to 360°. They can be used down to –40 °C, require littlespace and have a very robust metal housing.Highly precise over 360° – sothat nothing gets out of placeBSI Inclination SensorsThe position securely in your grasp

Capacitive inclination sensors areexceptionally outstanding here. Because their impressive accuracyand their excellent resolution accomplishes this with no ifs, ands orbuts. Capacitive inclination sensors thus create the best conditionsfor best positioning a patient.■■ High precision■■ Excellent resolution■■ Compact, for easy installation evenin places where space is limited.Setting up oil pumps over a boreholeOil pumps have to be placed precisely over the borehole. This iseasy to achieve with Balluff BSI inclination sensors, because they aremade for rough outdoor environments. Thanks to their analog anglevalues, they position pumps so precisely that they minimize loadsand wear.■■ High protection class IP 67 – suitablefor use in rough conditions■■ Precise, absolute angle measurement■■ Compact housingThe benefits to you■■ Compact, robust metal housing in IP 67, whichcan be easily installed and integrated into a system■■ High accuracy of 0.1° for precisely controllingprocesses■■ Extended temperature range of –40 to 85 °C is suitablefor outdoor applicationsBSI Inclination SensorsThe position securely in your grasp
