ELECTRONICS
The Fredericks Company is a leading manufacturer of precision tilt sensors, including angle measurement devices, high-quality signal conditioning boards, tilt switches, inclinometers and more. Tilt sensors are used in a wide variety of applications from laser levels to seismic monitoring to medical devices. The Fredericks Company has a full range of products capable of measuring ranges of arc seconds to 180°.
The ApexOne™ single axis analog inclinometer is the first of the Apex family of products designed and manufactured in the U.S.A by Fredericks specifically for use on heavy industrial machinery. Its wide linear operating range and analog output combined with a uniquely designed vertically or horizontally mounted enclosure make it simple to integrate into new or existing equipment.
The 0729-1761-99 CAN Bus SAE J1939 Inclinometer utilizes a Fredericks TrueTILT™ wide-range electrolytic tilt sensor and a Fredericks signal conditioner. Its robust high-temperature Noryl plastic housing and urethane potting provide excellent durability and environmental protection. This inclinometer has superior tolerances and unit to unit performance. Its small profile and economic design make it an ideal solution for a versatile range of applications in all sectors.
Fredericks’ comprehensive product lineup includes TrueTILT™ electrolytic tilt/inclination sensors and switches, signal conditioning boards, inclinometers/tilt instrumentation, and tilt switches, MEMS inclinometers covering a range of measurement solutions from arc seconds to 180°.
Our entire line of patented, precise, low-cost electrolytic tilt sensors are designed and engineered to outperform MEMS-based technology for a wide range of tilt measurement applications. They are very repeatable and offer high resolution with very low drift.
The 0728-1025-99 ”Micro-arc” uses ceramic construction technology. This wide-angle sensor is manufactured to precise tolerances for extreme sensor-to-sensor sensitivity and repeatability. The 0728-1025-99-sensor features linear output to ±75°, good vibration resistance, and superior cross axis properties. Glass sealing technologies allow for operation in a wider temperature range.
Fredericks manufactures a variety of electronics products featuring our industry-leading tilt sensors. These high-accuracy, microprocessor-based electronics range from printed circuit assemblies and fully integrated packages to remote-mounted sensors and assemblies.
Our dual axis electronics are highly configurable and provide you with an output signal proportional to tilt. These electronics can be used with any of our TrueTILT™, glass, or ceramic tilt sensors.
If your application requires special features, we can design and manufacture electronics tailored tailored to your specific specs. The electronics can be packaged in a variety of ways to provide you with easy mounting, multiple output options and environmental protection.
These production ready mini signal conditioner series from The Fredericks Company are microprocessor-based printed circuit boards capable of driving one or two electrolytic tilt sensors.
