MEMS Series, Inclinometers

Inclinometer products are specifically engineered to gauge the orientation of an object in relation to the gravitational force acting upon it. Unlike general-purpose accelerometers, inclinometers are designed to directly produce outputs that indicate orientation, rather than providing raw acceleration measurements that necessitate additional processing to derive orientation information. These inclinometers are often built on the foundation of accelerometer technology, which allows them to precisely detect and interpret changes in orientation. By leveraging this technology, inclinometers excel at providing real-time and direct feedback about the object's tilt and inclination angles without the need for complex interpretation of acceleration data. This distinction sets inclinometers apart from traditional accelerometers, as their primary focus is on delivering orientation-specific information, making them ideal for applications where precise angle measurements and orientation feedback are essential. In summary, inclinometer products are tailored to measure an object's orientation in relation to gravity, leveraging specialized accelerometer technology to provide direct outputs indicating orientation. This distinguishes them from standard accelerometers by offering immediate and unprocessed orientation information, catering to applications that require precise and direct angle measurements.
