Miniature Tilt Sensor Selector Guide

Product catalog summary

Specifications Overview:
The document provides detailed specifications for various sensor models, including angular range, resolution, repeatability, non-linearity, time constant, and temperature coefficients. Key specifications include:

Angular Range: ±0.5° to ±80°
Resolution: As low as 0.0000057°
Repeatability: As low as 0.0000057°
Non-Linearity: 0.5% to 2%
Time Constant: 0.15 to 0.5 seconds
Temperature Coefficients: Ks (0.04% to 0.05%/°C), Kz (±0.00017 to ±0.00057 bias/°C)

Procedures and Usage:
The sensors are designed for various applications such as X-ray mirrors, telescope mounts, wind tunnel models, and medical devices. They offer features like fast warm-up, high sensitivity, and excellent long-term stability. The sensors can be mounted vertically or horizontally and are compatible with vacuum environments.

Power and Temperature Requirements:
The sensors operate within a wide temperature range (-25°C to +125°C) and require power inputs ranging from 3-5V AC to ±16 VDC. They are designed to handle transient surges and reverse polarity.

Materials and Construction:
The sensors are constructed using materials like ceramic, gold anodized aluminum, and Teflon lead wire. They feature fiberglass PCBs with surface mount or thru-hole soldered components.

Signal Conditioning and Output:
The document details various signal conditioning options, including single and dual-channel cards, digital signal conditioning, and current loop powered systems. Output signals include analog voltage and digital data streams, with options for RS232 or RS422 output.

Additional Features:
The sensors include features like a 2-pole Butterworth low-pass filter, reverse polarity protection, and the ability to drive signals over long cable lengths. They also offer onboard temperature measurement and real-time clock capabilities.

Applications and Recommendations:
Recommended for laboratory and factory testing, OEM applications, and control systems. The sensors are noted for their rugged construction and ease of installation.

Note:
Specifications are subject to change, and custom ranges are available upon request. For complete specifications and ordering information, refer to the manufacturer's website.
