Ceramic Sensors from Inertial Aerosystems

The four sensors fall into two categories. The first is a mid range ceramic tilt sensor assembly. Model 84053, constructed with an aluminium housing to give superior thermal and mechanical stability. It has fast warm-up, a + / - 3 degree linear range and a resolution of .0001˚ (<1.75 microradians). Temperature range is -50 to +125 degrees C. Dimensions are 44.2 x 23.6 x 18.3 mm and weight is 24 grams. It is mounted on an anodised aluminium bracket for strength and ease of installation. The other model in this category is designated the 59577 and is available without the mounting bracket, but the same performance, whilst dimensions are 38.2 x 5.8 x 16mm.

The other category is a wide range ceramic tilt sensor assembly. It comprises model 84064-02 with a linear range of +/- 60˚ and a resolution of .001˚. The aluminium housed sensor has fast warm up and excellent thermal, mechanical and long term stability. It is mounted on an anodised bracket for strength and ease of installation. The small lightweight assembly attaches directly to the elements that require measuring without unbalancing or altering their performance. The temperature range is - 50 to +125 degrees C, with dimensions of 44.2 x 22.6 x 17 mm and weight of 22 grams. The other model is designated 59579-02 and is available without the mounting bracket, but with the same performance as the 84064 but with dimensions of 17.8 x 41.6 x 15.2mm.

These innovative products have applications right across industry and research and are ideal where space and weight are at a premium. The sensors are fully compatible with Applied Aeromechanics’ range of signal conditioning units.
