A Novel Low Cost Slope Transducer for Static and Dynamic Measurements

Abstract:

This paper presents the design and fabrication of a novel low cost transducer for angular deviation measurement, which replaces gyroscope in some of the Industrial applications where the gyroscope is found to be incompatible because of their size, weight, cost & complexity. This could be used to measure slope or an angular deviation under static and dynamic conditions. The basic approach of this work is to derive measured signal from a proposed transducer, proportional to the inclination of the platform with respect to ground. In this work, change in resistance of strain gauge due to the weight of a steel ball acting over it, produces an unbalanced voltage. This voltage is amplified and calibrated in terms of inclination angle. In this paper, a slope transducer has been designed and developed for measuring various inclinations with respect to horizontal earth’s surface.
