OEM SENSORS

Durham Instruments is proud to be the exclusive Canadian Distributor
for Schaevitz Sensors. Schaevitz Sensors designs, manufactures, and
markets low to medium volume, rugged industrial OEM sensors, with a
wide choice of proven sensors for linear and rotary position, pressure,
slope/tilt, dimensional gaging, associated instrumentation and
customized systems.

Biaxial inclination OEM sensors use 2 pieces of basic cells. The sensor
works in the way that an electrolytical fluid is formed out by applying
an AC-voltage on the planar electrode structures. By tilting the
sensor, the fluid level over the different electrodes and in
consequence the conductance of the stray field changes. Using a
difference measurement principle, the tilt angle and the tilt direction
can be measured. With a special electrode and circuit design the
temperature coefficient is almost completely compensated.
