The SLI measures the angle and extension of the boom along with the load weight and compares this with the manufacturer's specifications to determine if the lift is safe. [2] A safe load indicator has the capability of detecting the angle, weight of load lifted, and ground radius of any lifting device.

Adjusting a solar panel to the optimal angle to maximize its output. Measuring the slope angle of a tape or chain during distance measurement.
Dial test indicators, whose tips swing in an arc rather than plunging linearly, usually have spherical tips. This shape gives point contact, allowing for consistent measurements as the tip moves through its arc (via consistent offset distance from ball surface to center point, regardless of ball contact angle with the measured surface). Several ...
Some gyroscopes have mechanical equivalents substituted for one or more of the elements. For example, the spinning rotor may be suspended in a fluid, instead of being mounted in gimbals. A control moment gyroscope (CMG) is an example of a fixed-output-gimbal device that is used on spacecraft to hold or maintain a desired attitude angle or ...
A traditional mechanical airspeed indicator contains a pressure diaphragm that is connected to the pitot tube. The case around the diaphragm is airtight and is vented to the static port. The higher the speed, the higher the ram pressure, the more pressure exerted on the diaphragm, and the larger the needle movement through the mechanical ...
An indicator chart records the pressure in the cylinder versus the volume swept by the piston, throughout the two or four strokes of the piston which constitute the engine, or compressor, cycle. The indicator diagram is used to calculate the work done and the power produced in an engine cylinder [2] or used in a compressor cylinder.

It is numbered with a stylized flag symbol surrounding the number. A general note applies generally and is not called out with flags.

The cost of an indicator is usually modest. [3] The most common indicators in the market are 45° and 80°. Another tilt indicator detects starting from 30 degrees, and every 10 degrees is detected up to 80 degrees, and also 180 degree detection. [4] Leaning Label Plus detects tilt direction, set degree and overturn.
