Precision Tilt Measurement for Aircraft Applications
The Rieker 1017S5 aircraft inclinometer is engineered for aviation professionals who need a simple and dependable way to measure angular position. Its ±5-degree range and clearly marked 0.5-degree increments make it well suited for aircraft leveling, fuel-system attitude calibration, pitch-and-roll monitoring, and other maintenance or inspection procedures where accurate positioning is important.
Unlike electronic tilt sensors, the 1017S5 uses a mechanical ball-in-tube system. A precision glass tube, internal ball, and proprietary damping fluid work together to provide smooth movement and stable readings. Large numbers and degree markings make the scale easy to read while performing aircraft maintenance, calibration, or positioning tasks.
The inclinometer is housed in durable die-cast aluminum for dependable performance in challenging aviation environments. It measures approximately 6 inches long by 1.625 inches high by 0.625 inches deep and weighs approximately 6 ounces. Its operating temperature range of -54°C to 70°C supports use across a broad range of seasonal and environmental conditions.
For aircraft mechanics, maintenance facilities, fuel-system technicians, and aviation operators, the Rieker 1017S5 provides a rugged, power-free solution for precision aircraft tilt and attitude measurement. Browse the Rieker aviation inclinometer available from Pilots HQ for specialized aircraft calibration and monitoring applications.
