Types of Electrolytic Tilt Sensors from Fredericks
Wide Range Tilt Sensors
These electrolytic tilt sensors are designed to give wide range measurement up to ±60° with high accuracy from ±0.1° to ±0.05° in one or two axes. They're also the lowest cost sensors we offer.
All electrolytic sensors require an electrolytic tilt sensor circuit (also commonly referred to as signal conditioning or a signal conditioner) to provide a tilt angle output. This can be built into your system or you can purchase a circuit we’ve designed. Our circuits are optimized for the best performance from our sensors.
To learn more about the principles of electrolytic tilt sensors and how to integrate our sensors into your application, see our Technical Information page.
Mid-Range Tilt Sensors
These electrolytic tilt sensors are designed to give mid-range measurement up to ±25° with very high accuracy of at least ±0.005° in one axis. This means you’ll need two sensors to measure in two axes. These sensors are much less expensive than any of our glass solutions, but they're slightly more expensive than our wide-range sensors.

Narrow Range Tilt Sensors
These electrolytic tilt sensors are designed to give narrow range measurement up to ±3° with very high accuracy of at least ±0.001° in one axis. This means that you’ll need two sensors to measure in two axes. These sensors are slightly more expensive than our wide-range sensors, but comparable in cost to our mid-range sensors. They're also much less expensive than any of our glass solutions.

Glass Mid-Range
These electrolytic tilt sensors offer mid-range measurement of ±10° with extremely high accuracy of at least ±0.0005° in one axis. This means you’ll need two sensors to measure in two axes. These sensors are more expensive than any of our metal solutions because of their higher accuracy and glass design.
All electrolytic sensors require electrolytic tilt sensor circuits (commonly referred to as signal conditioning or signal conditioners) to provide an angle output. This circuit can be built into your system or you can purchase circuitry that we’ve designed that’s optimized for the best performance from our sensors.

Glass Narrow Range
These electrolytic tilt sensors are have narrow range measurement from ±3° to ±0.5° with extremely high accuracy of ±0.0008° to ±0.0001° in one axis. This means you’ll need two sensors to measure in two axes. These sensors are more expensive than any of our Fredericks metal solutions because of their higher accuracy and glass design.
