The BJ tilt cell measures the inclination to the gravitational acceleration by means of two differential capacitors made of silicon and is designed for use with a DIGI SENS evaluation computer. These are able to compensate the weight values determined by the load cells based on the measured inclinations. The data for characterizing the tilt cell is stored in a built-in memory element. This eliminates the need for any adjustment work when commissioning or replacing the tilt cell.
