Buying Optical Tilt Sensors

Top-level product categories: icon detectors and measurements, icon applications

More general product categories: optical sensors

Related product categories: optical displacement sensors, fiber-optic sensors

Optical tilt sensors (inclinometers) monitor small angular changes. They can be based on fiber Bragg gratings or position-sensitive detectors, providing precise angle measurements for various applications.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

As the most professional photonics purchasing portal, RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers (not limited to our advertisers), but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

Purchasing involves a lot of responsibility. We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

Our article on best practices for purchasing and another one explaining this tool give you valuable insights.

1. Understand the technical background

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

Use the comprehensive resources of RP Photonics. Unfortunately, we do not have a specific article related to optical tilt sensors.

If you need personal help, contact RP Photonics to get technical consultancy.

I feel that I sufficiently understand the technical background.

2. Define your requirements

It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying optical tilt sensors. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.

I think that I am sufficiently informed about our requirements.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

I consider the above list of specifications to be sufficiently complete, clear and accurate.

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

Insert these criteria when creating inquiry mails to suppliers with the buttons "Get quotation".

You find these buttons in the supplier list below or under "3. Find suitable suppliers".

3. Find suitable suppliers

We suggest three steps:

Below, you can find our list of suppliers for optical tilt sensors. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

Technica Optical Components, LLC 3657 Peachtree Rd NE Suite 10A Atlanta, GA 30319 United States Profile page Website See us at Optical Fiber Sensors 29 in Porto, Portugal, May 25–30!	The T520 is a high sensitivity sensor designed for monitoring the slow tilt / inclination of civil and geo structures. It is designed for mounting on walls or platforms. The T520 optical sensor consists of two fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing elements embedded in a traditional industrial grade tilt sensor frame. Self temperature-compensation combined with tight dimensional and materials controls yield a new generation tilt sensor featuring excellent wavelength to angle linearity. Product-specific web page
Bringing light to measurement HBK FiberSensing, S.A. Via José Régio, 256 4485–860 Vilar do Pinheiro Portugal Profile page Website	The newLight FS64 tilt sensor is suitable for measuring small angle variations. It can be used in a large range of monitoring applications such as sustaining walls, bridge piles, tunnels, or buildings. The measurement of tilt in different directions is possible with the use of multiple sensors. Based on the newLight optical sensor line, the FS64 tilt sensor is a ruggedized Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) inclinometer designed to measure very small angle variations towards the vertical. The sensor uses two FBGs in a push-pull configuration for effective temperature compensation. Product-specific web page
