POSITAL has introduced an inexpensive and flexible alternative for safety-critical motion control systems. When combined with functional safety PLCs, these devices are suitable for applications that are required to conform to Performance Level/ PL d, Cat. 3, according to ISO 13849. ‘Redundancy’ means that these devices contain two independent sensor systems. The magnetic and optical sensor elements are integrated in a compact housing (58 mm in diameter) that is easy to install. Applications for the new safety-ready encoders range from heavy construction equipment and mobile machines, through crane technology and elevators, to complex stage technology for theatrical or film productions.
Features
- Safety First – Through Clever Design
- Diverse Redundancy for Functional Safety
- Space and Cost-Saving Encoders
- Wide Variety of Mechanical Options
- Up to Performance Level/PL d, Cat. 3 of ISO 13849

POSITAL Inclinometers
Inclinometers, or tilt sensors, are designed to measure the angle of an object with respect to the force of gravity.
These tilt or level meters determine the pitch and/or roll angle and display these values as an output through the appropriate electrical interface. Inclinometers are easy to integrate to an application, because there is no need for mechanical linkages other than just the installation itself, which provides a distinct advantage for design engineers. POSITAL FRABA has developed several inclinometer types (such as the ACS-010-2-SC00-HE2-PM) to have a suitable solution for different applications for each industry.
Accurate measurement of the degree of tilt or inclination from a horizontal position is very important for many motion control systems or to ensure safety.
