Abstract
A sensor deployment system includes a first bulkhead arranged at a first end of a downhole tool, a second bulkhead arranged at a second end of the downhole tool, opposite the first end, a first pivot block arranged proximate the first bulkhead, a second pivot block arranged proximate the second bulkhead, and an arm rotatably coupled to the first and second pivot blocks at opposite ends of the arm. Rotation of at least a portion of the arm drives at least a portion of the arm radially outward from an axis of the downhole tool.
