Althen Sensors & Controls delivers the pinnacle of tilt sensor innovation

As a provider of cutting-edge sensor and measurement solutions, Althen Sensors & Controls proudly presents Jewell Instruments' groundbreaking Ultra Precision Geo Tilt Sensors. These sensors are set to revolutionize tilt measurement technology, offering unmatched accuracy and versatility in various applications. Tilt sensors are essential tools for measuring the inclination and orientation of objects or surfaces in applications such as construction, geotechnical monitoring, automotive safety systems, and more. Jewell Instruments, a leading manufacturer of high-quality sensors, has been at the forefront of precision sensor development for over a century. The Ultra Precision Geo Tilt Sensors are poised to set new standards in the industry. 

Ultra Precision Geo Tilt Sensors 

The 600 and 700 Series Platform mount tiltmeters are exceptional solutions for ultra precision tilt measurements for a range of applications. The Ultra Precision Geo Tilt Sensors are engineered to provide the highest level of accuracy in tilt measurements. With an outstanding resolution of up to 0.0001°, these sensors are capable of capturing even the most minuscule changes in inclination. The series tilt sensors are ideal tiltmeters for various applications and can be employed in diverse fields like:

  • volcano monitoring
  • high-precision geotechnical engineering;
  • structural monitoring;
  • high-precision metrology;
  • radar platform leveling;
  • bridge monitoring.

Other key features and benefits

The Ultra Precision Geo Tilt Sensors are poised to set new standards in the industry. Besides their unmatched accuracy versatility there more key features and benefits of these exceptional sensors:

  • Wide operating temperature range
    These sensors are designed to operate reliably in extreme temperature conditions, from -40°C to +85°C, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
  • Rugged construction
    Built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, the Ultra Precision Geo Tilt Sensors feature a robust design and are housed in durable, compact enclosures. This design makes them highly resistant to shock and vibration, ensuring accurate readings even in demanding situations.
  • Exceptional stability
    The sensors incorporate advanced compensation techniques that ensure stability and reliable performance over time, making them ideal for long-term monitoring applications in various industries.
  • Multiple output options
    These sensors offer a variety of output options, including analog voltage, current, and digital signals, providing compatibility with a wide range of data acquisition systems.

Easy installation and precise leveling

Some models come with built-in invar leveling legs - or even built in micrometers - for easy installation and precise leveling on any horizontal surface. Biaxial tiltmeters contain two orthogonal tilt sensors. The vector sum of the outputs of both channels yields the direction and magnitude of rotation with respect to the vertical gravity vector. The 700-Series platform and surface mount tiltmeters also contain a temperature sensor that is installed in the baseplate beside the tilt sensors. This temperature sensor allows you to record and evaluate the effects of temperature changes on measured structural and ground behavior.
