Tilt sensors refer to gravity
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.
Solid state accelerometers provide rugged accuracy
The transducer incorporates positive mechanical stops in an aluminium housing, providing tremendous shock resistance.
Fully self contained, these high-precision closed loop gravity referenced tilt sensors are IP68 rated to 15m of water immersion and can survive temperature extremes from -40 to +70C.
The sensors are available in a variety of angular ranges from +/-3 to +/-90 degrees with nonlinearity down to 0.02% of full range.
Typical application areas for the completely weatherproof LSW units are borehole mapping, dam and rock shifts, other geophysical studies, mining, offshore oil and gas exploration, weapon sighting systems and seismic and civil engineering analysis where high accuracy of tilt measurement and ruggedness are essential.
The LSW inclinometer excels in both areas: it can measure to resolutions down to less than 1arc-sec and is able to survive mechanical shock of 1500g.
Sherborne Sensors' Sales and Marketing Director Robin Butler said: "This new Inclinometer is a result of working alongside clients' engineering teams to help them respond quickly to market demands".
