Inertial Aerosystems have introduced a new range of economical miniature fluid filled tilt sensors manufactured by US-based Applied Geomechanics
The range consists of two models, both of which use ceramic material instead of glass, which gives a faster settling time, wider operating temperature and excellent repeatability.
It is claimed to provide a lower cost solution to existing and similar products.
The model 84064-02 has an angular range of +/-80deg with a linear range of +/-60deg.
The resolution is less than 0.001 of a degree, with an operating temperature of -50 to 125C and weighs 22grams.
The other model, the 84053 has an angular range of +/-6deg and a linear range of +/-3deg.
The resolution is less than 0.0001 of a degree (<1.75uRadian), repeatability of 0.0002 degrees and an operating temperature of -50 to 125C and weighs 9.5grams; claimed to have the best performance in its class.
All sensors have a fast warm up, high sensitivity with long term stability.
The sensors are mounted on an anodised aluminium bracket that strengthens the assembly and simplifies installation and repositioning of these versatile products.
They can be used with any of the standard analogue or digital signal conditioners.
These quality products have many applications in structural monitoring, machine levelling, marine dynamics, attitude sensing.
