Sherborne Sensors is a designer and manufacturer of precision inclinometers, accelerometers and load cells. Technologies utilized include mechanical servo, solid state and strain gauge. These precision measurement tools are available as both off-the-shelf and bespoke for use in military, aerospace, civil and industrial engineering applications.
An inclinometer or clinometer is an instrument used for measuring angles of slope, elevation, or depression of an object with respect to gravity's direction. It is also known as a tilt indicator, tilt sensor, tilt meter, slope alert, slope gauge, gradient meter, gradiometer, level gauge, level meter, declinometer, and pitch & roll indicator.
As shown in the figure, an arrangement of electrodes senses the exact position of the bubble in the electrolytic solution, to a high degree of precision. Any small changes in the level are recorded using a standard datalogger. This arrangement is quite insensitive to temperature, and can be fully compensated, using built-in thermal electronics. [5]
Sometimes tilt sensors are incorrectly called inclinometers because the sensors simply generate a signal (as opposed to inclinometers that generate a reading and a signal). A basic circuit using a tilt sensor is shown here. For this assembly, the components used are: a tilt sensor, a 470 Ohms resistor, a LED and a 3V power supply.

Liquid capacitive inclinometers are inclinometers (or clinometers) whose sensing elements are made with a liquid-filled differential capacitor; they sense the local direction of acceleration due to gravity (or movement). [1] A capacitive inclinometer has a disc-like cavity that is partly filled with a dielectric liquid.
The slip indicator is actually an inclinometer that at rest displays the angle of the aircraft's transverse axis with respect to horizontal, and in motion displays this angle as modified by the acceleration of the aircraft. [1] The most commonly used units are degrees per second (deg/s) or minutes per turn (min/tr). [citation needed]
