AOM-35A Analogue Orientation Module

The AOM-35A is a premium, high accuracy 3-axis borehole surveying instrument designed for extreme downhole oilfield environments. Qualified to high temperature and drilling shock and vibration levels, the instrument is designed for reliability under the most demanding of environments.

The sensor utilises TruMag™, a novel 3-axis flux-gate magnetometer design and high-grade quartz-hinge accelerometers for excellent precision and stability. Proprietary high-reliability electronics packaging and printed circuit board mounting, provide an extremely robust instrumentation assembly with industry-leading performance.
