Advantages

Simple sensor integration into nearly any environment
Inertial sensors from SICK unite reliability, high performance and compact design. From stationary applications to mobile machines: Various interfaces such as analog interfaces, CANopen or SAE J1939 facilitate precise sensor integration in a wide range of applications, machine designs and system environments. All interfaces can be parameterized. In addition, SICK offers shock-resistant housing variants made of aluminum or plastic for its inertial sensors.

The compact sensor design allows for easy integration into applications with limited space. The TMS/TMM22 is only 38.8 mm x 30 mm x 10.4 mm in size. The TMS/TMM61 is also, for example, available with housing dimensions 68 mm x 36.3 mm x 20.7 mm.

The sensors can be programmed specifically to the application via the various interfaces or the PGT-12-Pro hand-held programming device.

In addition to common connection types such as straight and angled M12 male connectors as well as open stranded wires, SICK also creates special designs upon customer request.

Inertial sensors from SICK are available in aluminum and plastic housings. They are highly resilient and provide optimal protection for the electronics, making them suitable for numerous application requirements.
Different sizes, interfaces, and housing variants: The portfolio of inertial sensors from SICK offers a suitable solution for nearly every task and installation situation.
Precise inclination measurement for all dimensions
In order to obtain reliable tilt values, interference caused by vibrations or acceleration movements must be filtered out reliably. High-precision capacitive MEMS sensors are wear-free. Digital filters help them determine the correct inclination. This permanently ensures the high resolution and measurement accuracy of the inertial sensors. SICK offers solutions with single- or dual-axis measuring ranges.

Inertial sensors from SICK are available as one-dimensional solutions with a measuring range of 360° as well as two-dimensional solutions with a ± 90° scope of measurement.

High-performance digital filters stabilize the measurement signal and ensure reliable inclination values by filtering out interference from the signal. A low-pass filter suppresses vibrations that exceed a previously defined cut-off frequency.

The preset function allows the user to conveniently zero the sensor. This considerably speeds up and simplifies sensor integration at the customer site.

In mobile applications, the inclination can be reliably determined in spite of acceleration movements. A sensor fusion algorithm combines the measurement signals from the acceleration sensor and the gyroscope so that the sensor transmits a stable inclination signal to the system.
Innovative MEMS technology and powerful digital filters generate a reliable and stable inclination signal that is free from external interference.

Rugged design resistant to dust and moisture
In many applications, inertial sensors are exposed to harsh ambient conditions. Large temperature differences, direct sunlight or water must not influence the quality of the measured values. That it why the electronics of inertial sensors from SICK are fully injection molded or encapsulated. Parameterizable digital filters ensure a constant output signal during operation.

To ensure that inertial sensors from SICK are as reliable as possible, their electronics are fully injection molded or encapsulated, depending on the product variant. The products therefore meet criteria of high enclosure ratings up to IP65, IP66, IP67, IP68 and IP69K.

Inertial sensors from SICK satisfy strict requirements: The excellent temperature resistance and outstanding UV resistance of the sensors make possible numerous outdoor applications. The rugged sensors even handle high-pressure cleaning in mobile applications with ease.

The digital filters of the inertial sensors can be adapted on-site to the respective application. For example, certain frequencies caused by vibrations can be compensated by targeted parameterization of the low-pass filter. The result: An adjusted, stable database.
No matter how demanding the application conditions are, inertial sensors from SICK offer maximum availability and long-lasting precision.
Very high performance in static and dynamic applications






The inclination sensor of a solar panel system is communicating the actual tilt position of the solar modules to the controller. The TMS/TMM22 range of inclination sensors provides non-contact inclination measurement with precision, even under tough ambient conditions. The sensors are available for one or two-dimensional measurements and offer high availability with fully encapsulated electronics.
