Description

High-Precision Dynamic Tilt Sensor for Structural Monitoring

ifm JD1121 Dynamic IMU Tilt Sensor is a high-precision inclination
sensor designed for real-time monitoring of tilt, rotation, and loss of
verticality in structures exposed to dynamic loads and vibration.

The sensor is based on MEMS IMU technology and is specifically optimized for
applications where conventional static tilt sensors are affected by motion,
vibration, or transient accelerations. It provides stable and reliable tilt
measurements under both static and dynamic conditions.

Measured Parameters

• Tilt angle / inclination (around vertical axis)

• Dynamic angular changes

Typical Accuracy

• Static tilt accuracy: ±0.3°
• Dynamic tilt accuracy: ±0.5°
• Resolution: 0.01°

Sensor Capabilities

• IMU-based MEMS technology
• Designed for dynamic and vibrating environments
• 360° measurement range
• Continuous real-time monitoring

Data Output & Integration

• CAN / CANopen interface
• Real-time tilt and orientation data
• Suitable for permanent installations
• Compatible with monitoring dashboards and SHM platforms

Typical Applications

• Structural columns and load-bearing elements
• Industrial frames and foundations
• Towers, tanks, and vertical structures
• Structures exposed to vibration or dynamic loads

infrascan Integration

ifm JD1121 Dynamic IMU Tilt Sensor can be fully integrated into infrascan
monitoring systems, enabling real-time visualization of tilt behavior,
long-term trend analysis, and automated alerts.

The sensor is typically deployed alongside GNSS displacement sensors and crack
meters to provide a complete understanding of structural kinematics and
deformation mechanisms.
