Dual axis MEMS inclinometer
±30° - ±90°, ±1 mrad | T700 series Sherborne Sensors Limited

The Sherborne Sensors T700 series is a high-precision range of compact, DC-operated solid state MEMS inclinometers, designed to measure inclination proportional to sine of angle in one axis (model T710), or dual axes at right angles (model T720), in applications where space is at a premium.

Available in ranges from ±30° to ±90°, the T700 series features an advanced micro-machined MEMS sensor, incorporating air damping, which enables the inclinometer to reliably perform over a very wide temperature range. Units are housed in a lightweight, robust light alloy package and are fully compensated for temperature effects on both sensitivity and zero. The T700 series also incorporates positive mechanical stops, conferring excellent shock resistance and offering reliable over-ranging protection. DC response capabilities facilitate exceptional measurement accuracy. Units are designed to operate from an unregulated DC power source, and offer a self-test feature on both axes.

T700 series inclinometers are supplied with integral shielded cable with built-in strain relief, which may also be fitted with optional electrical connector. The series -0101 model variant incorporates a temperature sensor, which enables each unit to be individually characterized over its operational temperature range.

A supplied characteristic error correction equation helps further minimize measurement uncertainties due to zero offset, sensitivity error and linearity, thermal zero shift and thermal sensitivity shift. By entering equation coefficients into the host operating software, cost-effective, high-precision inclination measurements, with accuracies better than ±1milli radian, may be achieved.
