BWSENSING Digital Dual-Axis Inclinometer (BWL326S)
A crane boom, a solar tracker and a leveling platform all share one quiet problem: none of them can feel when they are off the horizontal. The BWSENSING Digital Dual-Axis Inclinometer (BWL326S) gives them that sense, reporting tilt on two axes as a digital signal that a controller can read directly.
The product is available through this page, by quotation.
Background
The company behind the BWL326S
The BWL326S was designed by Bewis Sensing Technology LLC, which sells under the BWSENSING brand. The company builds inclination sensors for industrial users, and the BWL326S sits in its line of digital output tilt sensors. You can browse related items in the BWSensing brand page and the wider Sensors category.
Another BWSENSING inclinometer in the same family is the BWSENSING Cost-Effective Dual-Axis Inclinometer (BWM427). Buyers often compare the two before they choose.
Positioning and key technology
The manufacturer describes the BWL326S as a digital output, low-cost, dual-axis inclinometer. Its sensing element is the latest industrial-level MEMS accelerometer. A MEMS accelerometer measures the pull of gravity along each axis, and from that the sensor works out how far the body has tilted. There are no moving parts to wear, and the element is small enough to fit in a housing measuring L55mm×W37mm×H24mm (customizable).
Two versions are named in the sources: the BWL326S and the BWL326S bare plate. Tell us which one your project needs when you request a quote.

What makes the BWL326S a practical choice for tight installations?
Size and weight come first. At L55mm×W37mm×H24mm and 210 g without outer packaging, the sensor fits into control boxes, brackets and machine frames where a larger instrument would not. The size is also listed as customizable, which helps when a project needs a different housing shape.
Next is the electrical side. The input range of 9~35V covers common battery and supply levels found on mobile machines and automation panels, so one sensor can serve several platforms without an extra regulator. The output interface is offered as RS232, RS485 or TTL, so you choose the one that matches your controller. The output frequency is adjustable from 5 to 100Hz, which lets you match the data rate to the control loop. A slow leveling routine does not need the same rate as a fast stabilizing loop.
Finally, it is built for the field. IP67 protection suits dust and water exposure outdoors. The sensor is rated for impact of 2000g, three times per axis, and for a mean time between failures of at least 90000 h. It also starts in under 50ms, so a machine can read tilt almost as soon as power is applied.
How do resolution and accuracy work together on this sensor?
Resolution is 0.01°, and accuracy is 0.1°. Resolution tells you how small a change the data stream can show, which matters when you watch a slow trend such as a structure settling. Accuracy tells you how close the reading is to the true angle, which matters when a threshold triggers an alarm or a stop. Over the ±90° range on two axes, the BWL326S gives you both a fine trend and a clear absolute reading.
When a job needs a different interface or protocol, look at siblings such as the BWSENSING Cost-Effective Dual-Axis Digital Output With Modbus Inclinometer (BWN427).
Who is the BWL326S for?
Machine builders are the first group. If you make or refit lifting equipment, work platforms or other mobile machinery, a compact dual-axis sensor gives you roll and pitch feedback without a large mounting footprint.
Integrators of automation and robotics systems are the second. A digital output with a choice of RS232, RS485 or TTL connects to a controller, a gateway or a microcontroller board without an analog conversion stage. Wide input voltage makes it simple to power from the supply already in the cabinet.
Maintenance and monitoring teams form the third group. Tilt monitoring of poles, frames, antenna mounts and similar assets calls for a sealed, durable sensor, and IP67 protection fits that need. In the Caribbean, where salt air, rain and sun are everyday conditions, a sealed housing is a sensible starting point.
If you need a single-axis device instead, the BWSENSING Cost-Effective Single-Axis CAN Output Inclinometer (BWM415) is listed as a single-axis, CAN output alternative.
What is the BWL326S used for?
- Platform leveling: read the tilt of a work platform or a mounting base on two axes and correct it until it is level.
- Machine attitude monitoring: follow roll and pitch of vehicles and mobile machinery while they work.
- Safety interlocks: use a tilt limit to stop or warn before a machine reaches an unsafe angle.
- Robot and automation feedback: give a controller a digital angle signal for positioning and balancing tasks.
- Antenna and mast alignment: check that a mount stays at its set angle, including after storms or heavy winds.
- Structure monitoring: watch slow changes in the angle of frames, poles and other fixed assets.

Summary
A machine that cannot sense its own tilt depends on guesswork. The BWL326S replaces that with a digital reading on two axes over ±90°, with 0.01° resolution, 0.1° accuracy, a choice of RS232, RS485 or TTL, and IP67 protection, in a body of L55mm×W37mm×H24mm (customizable).
