Inertial Aerosystems announce the addition of four new sensors to their range of precision tilt sensors.
Inertial Aerosystems has released four precision tilt sensors.
Applied Geomechanics manufactures the sensors, which have a ceramic sensor enclosure that delivers much improved stability, repeatability and robustness, at lower cost.
The four sensors fall into two categories.
The first is a mid range ceramic tilt sensor assembly.
The Model 84053 is constructed with an aluminium housing to give superior thermal and mechanical stability.
It has fast warm-up, a +/- 3 degree linear range and a resolution of 0.0001 degree.
The temperature range is -50 to +125C and the sensor measures 44.2 x 23.6 x 18.3mm and weighs 24g.
It is mounted on an anodised aluminium bracket for strength and ease of installation.
The 59577 is available without the mounting bracket, but the same performance, while dimensions are 38.2 x 5.8 x 16mm.
The 84064-02 and 59579-02 are wide-range ceramic tilt sensor assemblies.
The 84064-02 has a linear range of +/- 60 degrees and a resolution of 0.001 degrees.
The aluminium-housed sensor offers fast warm up and excellent thermal, mechanical and long-term stability.
It is mounted on an anodised bracket for strength and ease of installation.
The small lightweight assembly attaches directly to the elements that require measuring without unbalancing or altering their performance.
The temperature range is - 50 to +125C, with dimensions of 44.2 x 22.6 x 17mm and weight of 22g.
The other model is designated 59579-02 and is available without the mounting bracket, but with the same performance as the 84064 but with dimensions of 17.8 x 41.6 x 15.2mm.
These innovative products have applications right across industry and research and are ideal where space and weight are at a premium.
The sensors are fully compatible with Applied Aeromechanics' range of signal conditioning units.
