Inclination sensors

Tilt & Inclination Sensors measure the angle or position of an object in relation to the earth’s gravity. Our Tilt & Inclination Sensors are well-known for their high reliability and accuracy and therefore used for applications where reliability and accuracy of angle inclination sensors are classified to their precision class and applied technology. Range up to 360°.

Inclination Sensors are designed to measure horizontal and vertical angular inclination with high precision.

Inclination sensors (also known as inclinometers or tilt or slope sensors) are designed to measure horizontal and vertical angular inclination with high precision. Inclinometers use different technologies for their measurements:

Servo technology
Fluid filled capacitance
Conductive or MEMS-technology (MEMS stands for Micro Electro Mechanical Systems)

There are several types of inclinometers all suited for their own purposes. On this page you will find information about the inclination applications, their different operating principles and an overview of the inclination/tilt sensors that we offer you.

Inclination applications
The inclination/tilt sensors are used for versatile branches and also in seismic environments. This is a list of the most used applications.
