Inclinometers

Inclinometers are primarily used to measure the tilt of an object relative to the horizontal plane or the direction of gravity.

 

1. What are the Technical Features of Inclinometers?

1) High-Precision Measurement: Typical accuracy reaches ±0.01 degrees, with high-precision models offering a resolution of 0.0005 degrees and a response time as fast as 0.3 seconds.

 

2) Sensor Types: Includes gyroscopic sensors (strong interference immunity, temperature drift coefficient <5×10⁻⁴/°C), accelerometers, and electrolyte sensors.

 

3) Classification:

By Dimension: Single-Axis and Dual-Axis (dual-axis sensors can simultaneously measure X/Y tilt).

By Output: Digital (supports data interface) and Analog.

By Mounting: Fixed (for long-term monitoring) and Portable.

 

2. What are the Applications of Inclinometers?

Engineering Monitoring: Early warning of landslides and detection of structural deformation in bridges and dams.

Aerospace: Aircraft attitude control and navigation system calibration.

Industrial Manufacturing: Rotational axis tilt measurement (such as for equipment installation and commissioning).

Geological Exploration: Drillhole deflection analysis and rock formation displacement monitoring.

 

3. Special Design Requirements for Inclinometers

Downhole inclinometers must be waterproof and dustproof, while industrial applications may require enhanced vibration resistance.
