Single and Dual Axis Miniature T700-0101
The Sherborne Sensors’ T700 range of Solid State Inclinometers measure inclination proportional to sine of angle in one axis (T710) or two axes mutually at right angles (T720). The inclinometer utilizes MEM technology and has mechanical stops giving excellent shock resistance. The unit is compensated for the effects of temperature on both sensitivity and zero.
Additionally, the T710-0101 or T720-0101 versions incorporate a temperature sensor enabling each sensor to be individually characterized over its operational temperature range. A data sheet containing the characteristic output equation is supplied with each sensor enabling errors due to zero offset, sensitivity error, linearity, thermal zero shift and thermal sensitivity shift to be minimised. By entering the equation coefficents into the host operating software, cost-effective high accuracy angle sensing may be achieved. Designed for operation from an unregulated DC power source, the T700 is packaged in a robust aluminium alloy housing with an integral shielded cable connection; the shield is connected to the sensor case. The cable may, as an option, be fitted with an electrical connector.
