The Jewell Instruments LCF-196 Series inclinometer is a precision, dual axis instrument designed for applications where high levels of shock and vibration are
present. With input ranges from ±14.5 to ±90°, the LCF-196 is just 0.875 inches in diameter and characterized by excellent turn-on-repeatability and very low
hysteresis.
LCF-196 series inclinometers are solid-state, closed loop meters with accuracy, stability and reliability several orders of magnitude greater than open loop types.
They are ideally suited for use in the construction industry for setting tilt of road grading and paving machines, in the geophysics filed for tilt and strong motion
studies, in the civil engineering field for evaluation of tilt of supporting walls in dams and other structures, and other application where high-accuracy measurement
of tilt is required.
Jewell LCF-196 series inclinometers are fully self-contained and designed to operate from a standard DC power source. Output is an analog 0 to ±5 VDC signal directly
proportional to the sine of the angle of tilt. The heart of the LCF-196 series is a flexure supported torque balance system, rugged enough to withstand severe shock
and vibration and still maintain excellent accuracy. The solid state electronics and sensor are enclosed within the sealed housing, permitting operation in hostile
environments.
Applications for the Jewell Instruments LCF-196 Series Inclinometer:
Geophysical measurement
Weapons platform leveling
Earth movement monitoring
Oil and gas well logging
Dam monitoring
Heavy construction, grading
Ship and barge leveling
Deviation surveys
Continuous casting
