Unlike fluid damped devices the air damping employed is essentially independent of temperature. The transducer also incorporates positive mechanical stops confering excellent shock resistance. The Tilt Sensor is compensated for the effects of temperature on both sensitivity and zero. Typical applications include data acquisition systems, road bed analysis, platform levelling, structural monitoring, pipeline levelling, ship ballast transfer systems and many other applications requiring precision tilt measurement. In addition to the instruments offered in this bulletin Sherborne Sensors design and develop Tilt Sensors for specific applications. These custom designed units can be manufactured and tested to conform to customers specific requirements.
