Dual-axis inclinometer VTS6D-CAN2.0A/B

CANfor angle measurementhigh-resolution

Product Introduction
The VTS6D-CAN2.0A/B is a high-performance sensing device independently developed by Ruicom Technology for high-precision inclination measurement applications. Each unit undergoes multi-point calibration and compensation across its full operating temperature range, followed by a two-week continuous aging and stability test to suppress temperature drift and ensure long-term measurement accuracy and consistent data output. The device integrates a multi-stage adaptive digital filtering algorithm that balances low-noise performance with rapid response. It supports CAN2.0A and CAN2.0B protocols for integration with industrial bus systems. Utilizing a non-contact measurement architecture, the sensor can be surface-mounted with screws and automatically calculates the object's inclination, simplifying on-site deployment. The sensor features robust electromagnetic compatibility protection and high resistance to shock and vibration, delivering stable attitude data in harsh environments. It is used for attitude sensing and real-time monitoring in high-end mobile platforms such as satellite communication vehicles, specialized command vehicles, and radar antenna vehicles.
