tiltmeter sensor

Kingmach tiltmeter sensors are part of a broader geotechnical instrument range that includes piezometers, inclinometers, and settlement systems. This means the sensor you specify today can integrate easily with other monitoring points on the same project. The sensing element is typically a MEMS accelerometer or electrolytic level — both technologies have their place, and we guide you to the right one based on expected tilt ranges and environmental conditions. Housings are stainless steel or anodized aluminum, sealed to IP67 or higher, so they survive in boreholes, open slopes, and concrete pours. Output options include 4-20 mA, RS485, and voltage variations, allowing direct connection to most data loggers without extra signal conditioning. One overlooked detail is the mounting base: we ship each sensor with a precisely machined base plate that speeds up alignment and reduces installation errors. For projects where off-the-shelf dimensions don’t fit, our engineering team adjusts flange patterns, bolt holes, and cable exits. This isn’t about charging a premium — it’s about avoiding field modifications that compromise accuracy. Calibration certificates come standard, showing linearity and hysteresis across the full measurement range. Because we manufacture in-house, we can also pre-wire junction boxes and pigtails so that your crew simply plugs and plays. After the sale, technical support is handled by staff who have spent time on construction sites and understand that a phone call at 10 p.m. from a dam safety engineer isn’t a nuisance — it’s part of the job. A global distributor network means spare parts and service are never far away, whether your project is in Southeast Asia or South America. Ultimately, choosing a tiltmeter sensor comes down to more than just a datasheet: it’s about knowing the supplier will be around for the next phase of the project and the one after that.
