Introducing The T7
US Digital is proud to introduce our latest innovation: the T7 absolute inclinometer. The T7 is an absolute inclinometer utilizing a unique solid-state sensor to give high accuracy tilt readings over a full 360 degree range.
Typical Applications
- Elevation control of heliostats and PV modules
- Parabolic trough tracking feedback
- Fresnel lens tracking feedback
Product Features
- Full 360 degree range, single axis
- ±0.1 degree accuracy from 0C to 70C
- 0.01 degree resolution
- Sealed against dust and water (IP-67 rated)
- RS232 version allows up to 15 T7s on 100 feet of cable
- -10 to 70 Degrees C Operating Temperature
- US Digital CAN version allows up to 64 T7s to be networked
- USD-CAN supports 700 feet (213 m) maximum cable length
The T7 is available with either a RS232 or USD-CAN interface. The RS232 version supports up to fifteen T7s on a single cable. US Digital's CAN protocol allows a network of up to sixty-four T7s to be connected to a single host. Power for each T7 is supplied over the network cable. The host accesses the T7-CANs through US Digital's low cost CANA-232/CANA-485 adapter module. This module allows the host to access each T7 on the network using simple serial port commands. A Windows demo application is provided for displaying the angles and temperature as well as setting operating modes, orientation, zero position, damping / averaging time, direction, and more for every T7 on the network. Additionally, a Windows DLL gives the user a set of simple functions to read and write data to a network of T7s.
T7 pricing starts at $225.00 for single units and $205.00 for 10 units. US Digital products are sold direct for easy ordering and fast shipment.

Introducing The HBA2
US Digital is pleased to announce the release of its latest Absolute Encoder hollow bore encoder, the HBA2.
The HBA2 is based upon US Digital’s very successful 12 bit A2 absolute encoder platform which has been incorporated
into a large bore bearing assembly with a tether anti-rotation mounting arm. The large bore design allows the encoder
to be easily attached to shaft diameters ranging from 6mm up to 0.750" and tether mount bolt circles of 2.50" up to 5.00".
The hollow bore and tether design replaces the traditional method of using a flexible coupling and subsequent encoder housing support systems of the past. Now with the HBA2 encoder, providing absolute position of a rotating shaft becomes a simple task.
HBA2 pricing starts at $383.00 for single units and is $279.21 for 100 units. US Digital products are sold direct for easy ordering and fast delivery.
Product Features
- 12 bit single turn absolute encoder
- Hollow bore design tolerates run-out
- Programmable zero location
- Low cost
- Industrial duty 6805 series bearings
- Analog output option available
- Programmable resolution
- Programmable CW or CCW count direction
- -40 to 100 deg C operating temperature
- Two year warranty
