The electronic digital inclinometer sensors are gravity-based with no moving parts and nothing to break – very reliable for rugged applications.

Electronic Inclinometers are instruments for measuring angles of slope and inclination of an object with respect to its gravity by creating an artificial horizon. It is also known as a tilt sensor, tilt indicator, slope meter, slope gauge, gradient meter, gradiometer, level gauge & level meter. An inclinometer is commonly used in different industries like Aviation, civil engineering, Government, Marine, Military, and Transportation for platform leveling, boom angle indication, and slope angle measurement. The tilt angle range is the range of desired linear output measured in degrees. Important specifications to consider when searching for tilt sensors and inclinometers are the tilt angle range and number of axes.

An electronic inclinometer is a sensor device that measures the angle, or tilt, of an object relative to the direction of gravity, providing an electronic output (analog or digital). This method of measuring tilt would not include a mechanical spirit level or a bubble level.

When selecting a digital inclinometer, consider:

While a standard electronic inclinometer could have mechanical components (bubble or pendulum), an electronic digital inclinometer uses digital electronics which incorporates integrated circuits, providing greater precision, stable and robust outputs, and the ability to interface with modern electronic systems. Digital models can also be calibrated more easily and allow for multi-axis detection and data logging.
