THE SCA121T DUAL AXIS INCLINOMETER MODULES
The SCA121T Series contain 3D-MEMS-based dual axis inclinometer modules that provide instrumentation grade
performance for leveling applications in harsh environment. The measuring axes of the sensing elements are
parallel to the mounting plane and orthogonal to each other. Low temperature dependency, high resolution and
low noise, together a with robust sensing element design, make the SCA121T the ideal choice for leveling
instruments. The Murata inclinometers are insensitive to vibration, due to their over damped sensing elements,
and can withstand mechanical shocks of up to 20000 g.
