Patent ID: 8336218

Claim:
A two-axis inclination sensor ( 1 ) with two operative elements, which comprises: a) a magneto-sensitive sensor unit with a flat sensor element ( 9 ) capable of measuring the magnetic flux in at least two orthogonal directions in space, the measurement directions, b) a magnet ( 8 ), c) wherein two operative elements ( 8 , 9 ) are pivotable relative to one another and one of the two operative elements ( 8 , 9 ) directly or indirectly aligns itself with gravity, d) the pivot point ( 10 , 10 ′) of one of the operative elements ( 8 or 9 ) is disposed on the center axis ( 20 , 20 ′) of the respective other operative element ( 9 or 8 ), wherein for the sensor element ( 9 ) the center axis ( 20 ) is the orthogonal for the measurement plane, and the center axis ( 20 ′) is the pole axis for the magnet ( 8 ), wherein the one operative element ( 8 or 9 ) is moveably guided on a defined, thus reproducible surface ( 21 , 21 ′), so that the center axis ( 20 , 20 ′) of this operative element ( 8 or 9 ) always points to the center axis ( 20 , 20 ′) of the other operative element ( 9 or 8 ).
