S623 Large Angle, Waterproof, Submersible Tilt Sensor

The S623 TIPS® (Tilt Inductive Position Sensor) is an affordable, durable, high-accuracy tilt sensor designed for industrial and scientific feedback applications. The S623, like all Positek sensors, is supplied with the output calibrated to the angle required by the customer, between 15 and 160 degrees. The sensor provides a linear output characteristic with angle of deflection. There is a machined registration mark to identify the calibrated mid point.

It is particularly suitable for OEMs seeking good sensor performance for arduous applications such as industrial machinery where cost is important.

Overall performance, repeatability and stability are outstanding over a wide temperature range. It is sealed to IP68 350bar (5000psi, 3500m depth).

The sensor has a rugged stainless steel body and mounting flange. The flange has two 4.5mm by 30 degree wide slots on a 48mm pitch to simplify mounting and position adjustment. The S623 offers a range of electrical options. Sealing is to IP67 and full EMC protection is built in.
