Tilt sensors keep synchrotrons on the level

An Inertial Aerosystems UK product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 13, 2006

The most sensitive tilt sensors in the Inertial Aerosystems range are being used in the field of high energy physics for synchrotron and particle beam applications.

The most sensitive tilt sensors in the Inertial Aerosystems range are being used in the field of high energy physics for synchrotron and particle beam applications.

These miniature tilt sensors are incorporated because of their high resolution and repeatability.

The resolution is 0.1urad in +/-8000urad full scale (+/-0.46 degrees), which makes them effective tools for finely adjusting the magnetic arrays that align the particle beams.

These sensors are also ideal for precise angular positioning of X-ray and laser mirrors and monochrometers.

They maintain absolute reference with respect to gravity and, unlike optical encoders, do not need to be re-initialised on power up.

These high quality devices are also available in vacuum compatible versions.

They are used by leading research laboratories throughout the world.
