Single-axis inclinometer NTS6

current outputanalog4-20 mA

Product overview
The NTS6 series tilt sensor from RUICOM is a compact MEMS single-axis inclinometer providing a linear 4–20 mA current output after internal double-linearity correction. Designed for installations with limited space and cost constraints, it supports long-distance signal transmission up to 2000 m and offers robust immunity to electromagnetic interference, shock and vibration for stable operation in harsh industrial environments. The sensor uses a non-contact measurement principle to deliver real-time current-proportional angle output and allows straightforward mounting without complex calibration of moving surfaces. Typical applications include industrial automation, platform attitude monitoring and machine alignment. It is optimized for static and slowly varying dynamic angle measurements.
