The T435 ‘L’ series is a family of single axis, high-precision, closed loop, gravity referenced servo inclinometers, ideal for use within a variety of application environments, and where space is at a premium. Available in ranges from ±3° to ±90° with a form factor measuring only 61mm (2.41 inches) high and a diameter measuring less than 37mm (1.46 inches). The T435 ‘L’ has a high-level 4-20mA signal, proportional to the sine of the angle of tilt. Units are fully self-contained, and able to connect to a DC power source and readout or control device, to form a complete operating system. Units are extremely rugged, and can withstand a 1500g-shock event. Solder pin terminations are standard. The 4-20mA output of the T435 ‘L’ series is specifically designed for electrically noisy environments, or where inclinometer output signals must travel over a long distance. T435 ‘L’ series inclinometers operate on a single 24Vdc supply and the output series load resistance can be as high as 400Ω. Sherborne Sensors T435 ‘L’ series inclinometers have a long and successful market history in precision tilt applications around the world.

The XT-0102LN is a ‘stand-alone’ power supply module capable of supplying the excitation voltage required for many of the inclinometers and accelerometers manufactured by Sherborne Sensors. The module accepts an unregulated supply down to 10VDC enabling operation from automobile batteries. The unit is short circuit and input polarity protected, is fully encapsulated and has screw terminal connections for complete flexibility

The T2335 Series is a range of dual axis gravity referenced servo inclinometers that can be used for a wide variety of industrial and military applications where high precision angular measurements are required in rugged and robust applications where high levels of vibration and mechanical shock up to 1500g are encountered. Models are available in a variety of ranges from +-1 degree to +-90 degrees with low impedance output voltage signals and are precisely set up for dual axis operation. Electrical terminations are via a connector on the T233 or solder pins on the T235 variant.

The T133 Series is a small, cost-effective, single or dual axis inclinometer. It is available with 0-10V, 4-20mA or RS232 outputs and can be operated from an unregulated voltage source of between 10 and 30 volts dc.

Using the same torquer mechanism and servo electronics as the A220 series, the A260 features a switching regulator to enable direct operation from a single ended dc power supply. Galvanic isolation between primary and secondary circuits provides total electrical isolation between the input supply and signal output. To meet certain measuring requirements, especially in certain aerospace applications, this series has provision for an optional active filter with low output impedance and 1g bias circuitry for vertical mounting. The A260 series accelerometers have been used successful in aerospace, military and industrial applications for many decades. The acquisition of this technology by Sherborne Sensors has allowed customers to benefit from the same exceptional product qualities as its predecessors, with the added benefits of extensive applications engineering support, global technical sales presence, repair, refurbishment and calibration services, stocking programs, and continuous product improvements.

The DSIC Series is a range of single and dual axis gravity referenced digital output servo inclinometers with total error band of less than 0.08 degrees over -20°C to +70°C. They are suitable for use in a wide variety of industrial and military applications where high precision angular measurements are required in rugged and robust applications where high levels of vibration and mechanical shock up to 1250g may be encountered. Models are available in a variety of angular ranges from +-5° to +-60° with RS485 ASCII outputs and electrical terminations are via a connector.
