Meggitt Sensing Systems has introduced the Sensorex SX41100 series, a high-performance servo inclinometer family featuring analog/digital outputs and a maximum linearity error of less than plus or minus 0.02%  FS. The series is designed to provide high-precision angular measurements of civil structures; crane and offshore platform safety systems; and roadway and rail track leveling applications.

With available ranges of plus or minus 1 degree to plus or minus 70 degrees, the SX41100 series is designed to provide an output signal proportional to the angle of measurement. The series is part of the companys Rugged Enhanced Digital Sensor (REDS) family, featuring Meggitts own proprietary Sensorex digital hybrid compensation circuit design (HCN module), for high-performance inclinometers with plus or minus 5V analog, 4-20 mA, and RS232 or RS485 outputs. Units feature built-in active digital temperature compensation, reliably operating over a temperature range of -40 degrees to more than 85 degrees C (-40 degrees to  more than 185 degrees F).

Incorporation of an inertial mass with servo feedback, optical position pick-up and friction free mounting allows the Sensorex SX41100 series to provide high accuracy with excellent long-term stability and high reliability. Because the inertial mechanism is immersed in oil, units have high shock and vibration resistance with a good damping factor.  Units also operate from a 9-30V unipolar power supply and feature IP65 environmental sealing.  Digital versions are delivered with software and digital data transmitted in ASCII format,  allowing for direct communication with a standard PC, along with user-selectable parameters of data acquisition and display.

All Sensorex SX41100 series servo inclinometers are accompanied by a two-year, comprehensive product warranty.
