Aluminum tilt beam

Tilt beam

The Tilt Beam is a lightweight, rigid aluminum beam that is used in conjunction with a triaxial tilt node, a NanoPlus or a NanoMacro.

The tilt beam can be mounted in any direction and quickly deployed in single and daisy chain configurations.

Installation of the tilt beam can be accomplished with minimal tools in minutes. Complex bolting and washer arrangements are not required due to the beam’s built-in bearing and joint system. This allows for thermal expansion and misalignment of the support brackets while closely monitoring the structure. The included tilt node requires no leveling, further reducing installation time.

It has been successfully used in many applications, including:

• Motion monitoring of any structure
• Longitudinal settlement
• Tunnel convergence/divergence
• Lateral displacements
