Inclinometers Current Output

An inclinometer is a sensor used for measuring angles, mainly for tilt, slope or elevation of an object with respect to gravity. They are known by several names such as tilt sensor, inclinometer or even pitch & roll indicator. Current output options include 0-20mA or 4-20mA as standard, other outputs can be accomodated on request. The benefit of the current output versions is extremely long transmission lengths up to 2000 metres. The family of sensors includes LCA (Industrial), SCA (Standard accuracy), HCA (High accuracy) and the ACA which is a precision grade accuracy of up 0.003 degrees depending on the range selected.

Frequently Asked Questions About Current Output Inclinometers?

Need Help with Current Output Inclinometers?

Learn about current output inclinometers, 4-20 mA signal advantages, and how these precision sensors integrate with industrial control systems.

A current output inclinometer is a sensor that measures the angle of tilt or inclination relative to gravity and provides the output as a current signal, typically in the 4–20 mA range. It is used in industrial automation, construction, and machinery monitoring.

The 4–20 mA current loop is robust against electrical noise and voltage drops over long cable runs. The 4 mA "live zero" also allows for fault detection (e.g., if the signal drops below 4 mA, the system can identify a wiring issue or sensor failure).

Less susceptible to signal degradation over long distances, More resistant to electromagnetic interference, Easier to detect faults due to the live zero (4 mA base), Often better suited for harsh industrial environments.

A common configuration is 4 mA representing -90° and 20 mA representing +90°, or sometimes ±30°, ±60°, etc., depending on the model.

Yes. Most PLCs have analog input modules that accept 4–20 mA signals, making them compatible with current output inclinometers.

Typically, the inclinometer is loop-powered, meaning it receives its power through the same two wires that carry the current signal, simplifying wiring.

They are ideal for environments with long cable runs, high electrical noise, or where durability and reliability are crucial—such as in cranes, drilling rigs, construction equipment, and offshore platforms.

Current output inclinometers are available in both single-axis and dual-axis versions, depending on the application requirements.

Accuracy is usually given in degrees, such as ±0.1° or ±0.05°, and may vary with temperature or other environmental factors.
