Avionics manufacturers use high precision tilt sensors in gyroscopes. The automotive industry uses tilt sensors in wheel alignment machines for measuring caster and camber angle and for security and RV leveling systems. In construction industry the application of tilt sensors range from safety systems in cranes, manlifts to providing reference data of various types of lasers.The electrolytic tilt sensors are also used to satellite antenna position, geo-technical monitoring and tilt tilt compensation in electronic compasses.[4]
Conclusion
Electrolytic tilt sensors are capable of producing extremely accurate pitch and roll measurements in a variety of applications. These devices lend themselves to both narrow and wide angular range measurements and easily maintain their small size and high accuracy.[3] The performance and reliability of electrolytic tilt sensors continues to set the standard for fluid filled devices. Hence, electrolytic tilt sensors have succeeded in widening its presence in the market. Also, the future appears more promising with planned improvements in design, materials and manufacturing techniques.
