Tilt Sensor for stability monitoring

Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG)-based inclinometer designed to measure very small angular variations relative to the vertical. Built on newLight® technology, it ensures high precision and reliability in demanding environments. The sensor uses two FBGs in a push-pull configuration, providing effective temperature compensation for accurate measurements under varying conditions. Its robust design makes it ideal for structural health monitoring applications, including retaining walls, bridge piles, tunnels, and buildings. For multi-directional tilt measurements, multiple sensors can be installed together.

High Precision

Measures very small angular variations with exceptional accuracy and outstanding long-term stability.

 

Temperature Compensation

Dual FBG push-pull configuration ensures reliable readings under changing thermal conditions, unlike traditional sensors prone to drift.

 

Rugged Design

Built on newLight® technology for durability in demanding environments such as bridges, tunnels, and retaining walls.

newLight FS64 Tilt Optical Sensor for Measuring Small Angle Variations

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.

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.
