FEATURING: Precision Inclinometers

Jewell force-balanced (servo) Precision Inclinometers are extremely sensitive, rugged transducers designed
to provide horizontal angle or vertical deviation measurements with virtually innite resolution. Every Jewell
precision inclinometer responds to changes of slope as small as 0.1 second of arc, with a high-level DC output
signal proportional to the sine of the angle of tilt from as little as ±1° full range to ±90° full range.
