FAQ

What is an inclinometer and what is it used for?

An inclinometer is a precision sensor used to measure tilt, angle, or slope relative to gravity. It is commonly used in applications such as structural monitoring, construction equipment, industrial automation, renewable energy systems, and safety-critical installations where accurate angular position measurement is required.

How do I choose the correct inclinometer for my application?

Selecting the right inclinometer depends on several factors, including measurement range, accuracy, number of axes (single or dual-axis), environmental conditions, and output interface (analogue, digital, CAN, RS485, wireless). Understanding whether the application involves static or dynamic movement is also critical when choosing the correct sensor type.

What accuracy and resolution should I look for in an inclinometer?

The required accuracy depends on your application. High-precision monitoring applications, such as structural or geotechnical monitoring, typically require high resolution and low drift, while general industrial applications may tolerate lower accuracy. Always consider temperature stability, long-term drift, and calibration requirements when assessing performance specifications.

What environmental factors should be considered when selecting an inclinometer?

Environmental conditions such as temperature range, vibration, moisture, ingress protection (IP rating), and electromagnetic interference can significantly affect sensor performance. For harsh or outdoor environments, choose an inclinometer designed for wide temperature ranges, high shock resistance, and robust sealing to ensure reliable long-term operation.
