Buyer guide
What Each Sensor Does
| Product | Measures | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Inclinometer (CANopen or analogue) | Tilt angle relative to gravity, in one or two axes | Cranes, booms, aerial platforms, levelling tables, solar trackers |
| Solid shaft angular sensor | Rotation angle of a shaft | Valve and damper position, steering, pivot arms |
| POT10 potentiometer sensor | Shaft angle as a variable resistance or voltage | Simple angle feedback to an analogue input |
| Impulse counter, ratemeter, period meter | Counts pulses, shows rate (speed) or time between pulses | Production counting, line speed and RPM display from an encoder or proximity sensor |
Inclinometers need no mechanical connection to a shaft, which makes them easy to fit on moving structures. Angular sensors and potentiometers need a coupling to the rotating part.
Choosing an Inclinometer
- Axes: single-axis for one tilt direction, dual-axis for pitch and roll.
- Measuring range: a narrow range gives finer resolution; a wide range covers large movements.
- Output: analogue (4–20 mA or 0–10 V) for a PLC analogue input, or CANopen for networked mobile machines.
- Response: inclinometers sense gravity, so vibration and acceleration affect the reading. Filtering settings help on moving machines.
- Mounting: fix on a rigid, flat surface and set the zero after installation.
- Protection: outdoor machines need a sealed housing and suitable connector.
Tell us the range, accuracy and output you need, and how the machine moves, and we will suggest a suitable model.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an inclinometer used for?
An inclinometer measures tilt relative to gravity. It is used to level platforms and tables, limit boom and crane angles for safety, monitor tilt on mobile machinery and position solar trackers. Because it needs no shaft connection, it can be mounted directly on the moving structure.
Should I choose a CANopen or analogue inclinometer?
Choose analogue (current or voltage) output when the sensor connects to a PLC or indicator analogue input. Choose CANopen when the machine already uses a CANopen network, as on many mobile machines, so the sensor can share the bus with other devices. When replacing, keep the same output.
What is the difference between an angular sensor and a rotary encoder?
Both measure shaft rotation. An angular sensor usually gives an analogue output proportional to angle, which is simple to read on a PLC analogue input. A rotary encoder gives digital pulses or a digital position word with higher resolution. For simple valve or arm position, an angular sensor is often enough. See our rotary encoders for digital options.
What does an impulse counter ratemeter do?
It is a panel indicator that counts pulses from a sensor or encoder and can display the total count, the rate (for example RPM or metres per minute) or the time between pulses. It is used to show line speed, count production and monitor shaft speed without a PLC.
How do I wire a potentiometer sensor to a PLC?
Connect the two ends of the potentiometer track to a stable reference supply and 0 V, and the wiper to the PLC's voltage analogue input. Use a shielded cable and keep it short and away from power cables. Do not use the potentiometer's wiper to carry load current, as this damages the track.
Can you replace a sensor from another maker?
Often yes, if the measuring range, output, supply voltage, connector and mounting can be matched. Send the old sensor's label and photos. If no match is in this range, we will try to source the original through our find a part service.
How do I get a quote?
Send the model number, or your range, output and application, with quantities through our request a quote form, by email to contact@ekacnc.com or by phone. We will reply with the matching model, price and availability.
