Inclinometers compensate for temperature drift

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Mar 30, 2006

Capacitive dielectric liquid based inclinometers have stable laser-trimmed signal conditioning, compensate for temperature drift and offer stable supply voltage regulation and low pass filtering.

Sensors UK has introduced the Seika NA2-05 range of capacitive dielectric liquid based inclinometers, incorporating stable laser-trimmed signal conditioning.

The electronics offer improved compensation for temperature drift, highly stable supply voltage regulation circuitry and low pass filtering to eliminate unwanted noise.

It requires low power and, with a capacitive primary transformer, is characterised by low errors, high signal-to-noise ratio and high long-term stability.

All models are suitable for measurements requiring small light devices, replacability, measurement of inclination from +/-5 to +/- 70 degrees, and a normalised analogue output signal.

Applications include measurement of inclination in measuring instruments and inspection equipment, in land and air vehicles, in automation and safety technology, on cranes, robots, and in the manufacture of scientific equipment, in medicine and telecoms, as well as navigation systems.
