Introduction
The Schaevitz range of range of Solid State Tilt Sensors manufactured by Sherborne Sensors
measure angle with high accuracy using a micromachined (MEMS) silicon sensor incorporating an air
damping feature. 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.
