SMI Single-Axis Analog Inclinometer

The Jewell SMI Single-Axis Analog Inclinometer series are rugged, high-precision force-balanced inclinometers. These RoHS-compliant inclinometers are available in three different versions (D, L, & S series), with either a circular connector or a pin connection, and varying input and output specifications in order to meet your specific needs.
