    The sensitive altimeter uses at least two aneroid capsules for more accurate pressure measurement and mechanical linkage power. Jeweled bearings and a bi-metallic insert reduce friction and compensate for temperature changes. Some altimeters use knocking devices to overcome inertia and reduce friction. The servo altimeter detects small capsule movements electromagnetically, amplifies the signal to drive a motor that precisely moves the counters and pointer, virtually eliminating lag error.

    1. The sensitive altimeter employs a minimum of two aneroid capsules.

    This provides for a more


    accurate
    measurement of pressure and provides more power to drive mechanical linkage
    2. Jewelled bearings are fitted, reducing friction and the associated lag in indications.
    3. Within the mechanical linkages, a bi-metallic insert is fitted to compensate for temperature
    changes that
    could affect the movement.
    4. Some altimeter systems employ “Knocking/Vibrating” devices to help overcome initial inertia/
    reduce
    friction.
    SERVO-ASSISTED ALTIMETER
    1. The principle of the servo altimeter is that
    the small movements of the capsules are
    detected by a very sensitive electromagnetic
    pick-off. This produces an electric current
    which is amplified and used to drive a motor
    which rotates the counters and pointer.
    2. LAG ERROR is virtually eliminated in SERVO
    ASSISTED ALTIMETER
