Inclinometers are ideally suited to tough onshore and offshore civil engineering applications such as bore-hole mapping, dam and rock shifts and other geophysical and seismic studies.
Such environments include borehole mapping, dam and rock shifts and other geophysical, seismic and civil engineering settings where space limitations can make small sensors essential.
Such applications not only require high accuracy of tilt measurement but also demand a high degree of ruggedness.
The T435 excels in both areas: it can measure to resolutions of less than 1arc-sec and is able to withstand 1500g of mechanical shock.
It can operate in temperatures of -18 to +70C.
The Schaevitz T435 is a high-precision, closed loop, gravity-referenced tilt sensor measuring only 41mm high and less than 37mm in diameter.
It can be stacked for simultaneous x and y measurement of tilt angles.
Models are available in a variety of ranges with solder pin terminations.
According to Jeremy Knight, Sherborne Schaevitz' Senior Design and Applications Engineer: "This new inclinometer is the latest result of the Schaevitz commitment to innovation, something that's kept the brand at the top for over 60 years.
The T435 is built for reliability and accuracy, an unrivalled partner in measurement instrumentation for down-hole logging and other confined spaces". Request a free brochure from Sherborne Sensors ...
