Product range
These sensors are able to detect angles from ±15° up to 360° e.g. pedal accelerator, front or rear steering, suspension position, or cabin rotation.
Danfoss program of inclinometer sensors are developed to ensure a robust and high-performance solution for applications such as agricultural- and construction machines, as well as material handling equipments. These sensors are typically used in safety applications in order to keep the inclination of a machine, or just a part of it, a safety zone for working people, under control.
Danfoss DST X800 wire position sensor is developed to ensure a robust and high-performance solution for applications. The stability control of e.g. a crane, telehandler or aerial platform is kept under control with draw wire sensors that determine the withdrawal of lateral stabilizers at different positions; on same applications the draw wire on the boom. couldevent overturn of the machine.
