Press Release Summary:
Compact T435 inclinometer measures to resolutions of less than 1 sec of one arc and withstands 1500 g of mechanical shock. Able to operate in temperatures of -18 to +70°C, closed loop, gravity-referenced tilt sensor measures 41 mm high and less than 37 mm in diameter. Offered with ±3° to ±90° ranges, self-contained unit may be stacked for simultaneous X and Y measurement of tilt angles and connects to DC power-source and readout or control device.Original Press Release:
Sherborne Schaevitz Launches Ultra-Rugged Tilt Sensor
Schaevitz is the world's leading brand of inertial sensors, sensors that measure angle, acceleration and force to a very high degree of accuracy. Schaevitz inclinometers, accelerometers and force transducers are used by instrument makers serving a wide variety of engineering applications across many sectors including road and pavement grading; borehole alignment; weapon sighting; satellite dish alignment; tilting train control; rail track monitoring; and seismic and civil engineering analysis.
NEW T435 INCLINOMETER
Sherborne Schaevitz, manufacturer of Schaevitz, is pleased to announce the launch of their NEW, high-precision tilt sensor, the Schaevitz T435 inclinometer. Compact and rugged, it is an ideal companion technology for measurement instruments used in demanding environments. 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 one second of an arc and is able to withstand 1500g of mechanical shock. It can operate in temperatures of minus 18 to 70 degrees C.
The new 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.
FEATURES:
· Fully self-contained - connects to a DC power-source and a readout or control device
· High-level DC output signal proportional to sine of the angle of tilt
· +/-3 degrees to +/- 90 degrees ranges available
· Extremely rugged, withstanding 1500g shock
· Stackable for X and Y measurements.
Jeremy Knight is Sherborne Schaevitz' Senior Design & 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.'
