Inclinometers

A inclinometer It is a device designed to measure the inclination or angle of an object relative to the horizontal or vertical. These instruments are essential in various applications, as they allow monitoring and controlling the orientation of structures and components in real time.

Inclinometers operate based on physical principles that detect changes in orientation. Some of the most common methods include:

• Gravity Based: They use gravitational force to determine inclination.
• Vibrating Wire Inclinometers: They use a vibrating string sensor that detects tilt based on the variation in the vibration frequency of a tensioned string.
• Electronic Inclinometers: These devices use electronic sensors, such as accelerometers or gyroscopes, to measure tilt. They are more compact and can provide real-time measurements, making them useful for applications that require a fast response.
