TE Sensor Solutions AXISENSE-G Dual-Axis Gyro Stabilized Tilt Sensors
TE Sensor Solutions AXISENSE-G Dual-Axis Gyro Stabilized Tilt Sensors combine signals from a multi-axis accelerometer and multi-axis gyro to accurately represent pitch and roll angles. The addition of the gyro improves the reaction time of the sensor and reduces susceptibility to shock and vibration events. TE's AXISENSE-G Gyro Stabilized Tilt Sensor uses gravity for the reference and reports any positive or negative tilt angle in both the X and Y axes. The static accuracy for these measurements is ±0.5°. The tilt sensor is packaged in a rugged enclosure with simple mounting features. The sensor is designed to be immune to harsh environments commonly found in automotive and off-road vehicle applications.
The IP67 rating makes the sensor suitable for use outdoors. The sensor is supplied with a 400mm (15.7") integrated cable and a 4-pin sealed, keyed, latching connector. The wide supply voltage range of 8VDC to 36VDC allows the sensor to operate with most electrical systems. A built-in temperature sensor and self-diagnostic features immediately notifies the user or system of any problems or malfunctions.

If you want to see instability, put me on a balance beam. Maybe I’d do better with the TE Connectivity AXISENSE-G Dual-Axis Gyro Stabilized Tilt Sensor, which provides years of reliable operation and lets you know if things are taking a turn for the worse. These sensors come with a CAN J1939 interface, utilize a super seal connector, operate on voltages from 8 volts to 36 volts DC, and are both factory calibrated and compensated, meaning that this thing works straight out of the bag. As these tilt sensors are gyro stabilized thanks to internal multi-axis accelerometers and gyroscopes, they can be used to accurately determine pitch and roll angles, and the use of gravity as the reference means that all data is always with respect to the ground. Not only are these sensors able to survive up to 10,000 g of shock, but they are also IP67 rated, and can be used outdoors.
