Inclinometers
Inclinometers, also known as tilt sensors or tilt meters, are used to measure the angle of inclination or tilt with respect to gravity. They provide valuable data for monitoring the orientation, tilt, and angular displacement of objects or surfaces in various applications. Inclinometers are utilized in industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, robotics, and marine navigation to ensure accurate positioning, alignment, and stability.
Generally, inclinometers with wider measurement ranges, higher accuracy levels, and advanced sensing technologies are priced higher. Digital inclinometers may also have higher prices due to additional onboard processing capabilities.
When purchasing inclinometers, determine the measurement range and accuracy required for your application, ensuring that the inclinometer can accurately measure the angles of inclination or tilt. Additionally, assess the output interface compatibility with your system, whether analog (voltage or current output) or digital (SPI, I²C, UART), and choose accordingly based on your communication preferences and integration needs.
