mems tiltmeter

Servo types are still highly precise but they have moving parts—a pendulum and a feedback mechanism—which can wear or stick after long periods. MEMS tiltmeters are solid-state, meaning lower drift over time and better vibration tolerance. They’re also smaller and draw less power, which simplifies installation in tight boreholes or on battery-powered loggers.

Yes, with the right firmware settings. The standard model outputs an averaged reading to filter out momentary vibrations, but the sample rate can be increased to capture transient tilt events. Tell us the intended use during inquiry; we’ll confirm the right configuration.

We provide the tiltmeter with a standard digital or analog output, and we can recommend compatible wireless nodes we’ve tested. That keeps the sensor output predictable. If you need a fully integrated solution, our engineering team can supply a pre-paired set with data pushing to a cloud platform.

It’s straightforward. Share your mounting surface details or length requirement, and we’ll produce a drawing for approval before fabrication. Minor changes usually add a few days to lead time. For large volumes, we can test prototypes in our facility to verify mechanical fit.

Ideally, you have a setup with a known reference angle, like a tilt plate. You can compare readings before and after field deployment, or return the unit to Kingmach for a check-up. We recommend annual verification for critical applications.
