Colibrys launches MEMS Tilt Sensor
featuring micro g bias stability for platform stabilization, down
borehole drilling and measurement whilst drilling (MWD) applications. |
| |
 Colibrys
announce the release of one of the world’s highest stability ±3g full
range accelerometer commercially available, the RS9003.A. RS9003 is an
ideal sensor designed for tilt measurement, measurement whilst drilling,
borehole survey and other drilling applications where precision sensing
over time in harsh and safety critical environments is demanded (see
Colibrys application note: Down borehole & directional drilling). It is
also a perfect product for stabilization of large platforms such as
radars, antennas, turrets and surveillance cameras. The sensor features
composite bias stability of better than 600μg and composite scale factor
stability of better than 500ppm. “This level of performance has been so
far the domain of precision mechanics and vibrating quartz
accelerometers, which are foreseen to be increasingly displaced by
Silicon MEMS technology, offering a disruptive change in tilt sensing
performance with major benefits in terms of robustness, size and weight,
cost and power consumption” highlights Soheil Habibi, Business
Development Manager for Colibrys inertial sensors. He added further; “We
aim to displace electromechanical sensors such as the Honeywell QFlex in
many ... |

PWA contactless angle sensors |
| |
|
PEWATRON
AG: The new line of PWA contactless angle sensors with electrical
angle up to 360° and 12 bit resolution has been designed as a sturdy
solution for industrial as well as in mobile applications. The line
currently consists of 3 series, all of which feature a ratiometric 5V
output: * PWA1 series: with integrated magnet and return spring, * PWA8
series: with separate magnet (at request with magnet support), * PWA9
series: as PWA8, however with 2 independent redundant outputs for fault
detection in the measurement system. Optionally available with PWM
output. The series PWA8 and PWA9 are characterised by a high
insensitivity to mechanical tolerances (magnet offset) and an air gap of
up to 5.5 mm. Owing to the secure attachment by means of metal lugs, a
high temperature range of -40°C to +85°C (optionally +125°C) and
protection class IP67/IP68, the PWA line is ideally suited for the
application in rough environments. ... |

T7 Networked absolute Inclinometer with
USD-CAN or RS232 Interface |
| |
 PEWATRON
AG: The new T7 is a compact absolute inclinometer utilizing a unique
solid-state sensor to give high accuracy tilt readings over a full 360
degree range (single axis). Networking Interfaces, programmable damping,
zero setting, -20°C to +100°C temperature range and IP67 sealing make
this inclinometer best suited for solar tracker or heavy construction
equipment. The T7 provides ±0.1 degree accuracy in the range 0°C to 70°C
with 0.01 degree resolution. The T7 is available with either a RS232 or
USD-CAN interface. The RS232 version supports up to fifteen T7s on a
single bus. Our USD-CAN protocol allows a network of up to sixty-four
T7s to be connected over 200m cable length to a single host. Power for
each T7 is supplied over the network cable. The host accesses the
T7-USD-CANs through our low cost CANA-232/CANA-485 adapter module. This
module allows the host to access each T7 on the network using simple
serial port commands. A Windows demo application is provided for
displaying the angles and temperature as well as setting operating
modes, orientation, zero position, damping / averaging time, direction,
and more ... |

US Digital and PEWATRON sign European
Partnership Agreement |
| |
 After
a long informal cooperation US Digital, a developer and manufacturer of
innovative Encoders and Inclinometers, has formalized a European
distribution partnership with PEWATRON, a leading distributor of
Sensors, Power Supplies, E-Components and Drives. US Digital’s precision
position sensors and inclinometers are used in a wide variety of places:
stepper motors, concentrated solar and solar thermal, manufacturing
machinery, medical devices, gas dispensers, automation, robotics, and
many other automation applications requiring position feedback. Their
innovative building blocks include absolute and incremental optical
encoders, inclinometers and PC interfaces. ... |

New tilt sensor for rugged, safety
critical applications |
| |
 Penny
+ Giles has launched a new robust tilt sensor, STT500, for use in
safety critical applications used on cranes and lifting platforms. A
tilt sensor is an essential part of a Safe Load Indicator (SLI) system
on a crane, designed to alert the operator if the lift is exceeding the
safe operating range of the machine. The SLI measures the angle and
extension of the boom along with the load weight, and calculates if the
machine is working within the manufacturers suggested safety margins.
Based on proven solid-state technology, the STT500 provides distinct
advantages in reliability, stability and compactness over fluid based,
electrolytic and pendulum operated sensors. It can operate from a 5V or
8-30V power source and has a measurement range of ±10º, ±20º, ±30º or
±60º with an output from 0.5 to 4.5Vdc over the full inclination angle.
STT500 is supplied in a marine grade (LM6) cast aluminium alloy housing
with 88mm diameter flange. It has a high environmental protection rating
of IP69K to withstand the ingress of dust and fluids, even under high
pressure washing. The sensor has no moving parts and ... |

Defining inclinations with impressive
accuracy - Digital single-axis inclinometer AIDSI |
| |
 With
its AIDSI servo single-axis inclinometer series ALTHen GmbH Mess-
und Sensortechnik – the specialist for electrical measurement of
mechanical values – is launching a new measuring system for the
measuring and monitoring of inclinations, angles and changes in angle.
The highest degree of precision and resistance to extreme mechanical
impacts such as shock and vibration are the features that make these
rugged devices outstanding. AIDSI inclinometers are used wherever the
exact alignment of a defined angle to a reference angle in slow motional
processes is to be measured and controlled. They are used in industry
for the levelling of plane-tables and rotary tables as well as for
applications such as monitoring cranes and hoisting platforms for safety
or for the exact positioning of working platforms and satellite dishes.
The innovative digital servo inclinometers from the AIDSI series measure
the inclination of an axis with continuous zero point ... |

New tilt sensor from Penny + Giles offers
high performance in a compact, robust, low-power package |
| |
 Penny
+ Giles, the position sensor specialist, has launched a new ±60°
tilt measurement sensor. The compact STT280, which is priced
competitively, features low power consumption and a rugged, IP68 sealed
housing, making it ideal for construction industry, off-road vehicle and
access platform applications. Tilt sensors are increasingly used in
safety critical applications such as safe load indication systems on
cranes and platforms. The sensors provide vital data to ensure equipment
is operating within its nominal load envelope. The STT280 measures up to
±60°, with an output range from 0.5 to 4.5Vdc over the full inclination
angle. Based on proven solid-state technology, the new sensor has a low
power requirement of less than 6.5mA, so it can be used in hard-wired or
battery-powered systems, for maximum flexibility for OEMs. By using this
technology, the STT280 provides distinct advantages in reliability,
stability and compactness over fluid based, electrolytic and pendulum
operated sensors. ... |
