Murata SCA Series Inclinometers

Murata SCA Series Inclinometers are an optimum choice for high-accuracy leveling and inclination measurement instruments. The highest accuracy is available with the SCA103T series which uses a differential measurement principle to compensate for all standard mode error and noise effects. With the best shock durability available on the MEMS market, Murata inclinometers provide trouble-free measurements in moving machines, vehicles, airplanes, construction machines, and handheld devices.
