Tilt Sensor

The Fredericks Co. (Huntingdon Valley, PA) has introduced the 0737-1203-99 electrolytic tilt sensor with thin-film technology that provides inclination measurement with arc second repeatability. The sensor offers an angle range of ±30 arc minutes , less than 0.05 arc second resolution, and less than 0.5 arc second repeat ability at null. The sensor features a hermetic seal design for applications such as aircraft avionics, machine tool leveling, and other position monitoring and measurement instrumentation requiring inclination measurement.
