At Althen we are very pleased to announce the expansion of our long-standing partnership with Jewell Instruments. With this new agreement, Althen becomes the official Sales Partner for Jewell Instruments in France and the United Kingdom. The expansion builds on our existing representation of Jewell across Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Luxembourg, Austria and Switzerland.
Precision sensors for demanding applications
Jewell Instruments is a global specialist in high-precision inertial sensor technology, including accelerometers and inclinometers for tilt, acceleration, vibration and motion measurement. Its portfolio includes Force-Balance, Electrolytic, MEMS and quartz-based technologies for critical applications in rail, aerospace, defence, structural monitoring, industrial systems, mining, oil and gas, renewable energy, geotechnical research and scientific exploration.
Recent developments at Jewell Instruments
Jewell has recently continued to invest in its inertial sensor portfolio. In 2025, the company introduced its Ruby MEMS accelerometers and inclinometers, designed to offer improved resolution, faster frequency response and wider bandwidth in a rugged IP67 package.
Jewell also announced an exclusive distribution partnership with Hoskin Scientific for Canada, further strengthening its international distribution network.
Expanded inclinometer portfolio
In addition to proven solutions such as the LCF-2330 and LSOX high-end inclinometer, we will also focus on the Ruby inclinometer as part of the expanded Jewell portfolio. The Ruby series adds a modern MEMS-based option for applications where compact design, reliable performance and robust measurement are essential. This gives you a broader choice of tilt and inclination sensors, from established high-precision models to newer technologies for demanding industrial and monitoring applications.
The JMHI 100/200 Ruby MEMS inclinometer has analog output options such as ±5 V, 0–5 V and 4–20 mA, which makes it easy to integrate into many existing industrial and monitoring systems. It also offers IP67 protection, ±14.5° to ±90° ranges and 0.002° resolution, making it a strong general-purpose option.
The JDHI Ruby 100/200 is a good choice when you might need digital communication, such as RS-232, RS-485 or Modbus.

Lily borehole tiltmeter
The Lily borehole tiltmeter is a solution for precise subsurface tilt monitoring. The sensor is designed to be installed in boreholes, where it measures small changes in ground movement over time. This makes it especially relevant for geotechnical monitoring projects such as slope stability, landslide detection, tunnelling works, dam monitoring and large infrastructure foundations. With the Lily borehole tiltmeter, Althen can support customers who need reliable long-term inclination data below ground level, backed by local technical advice and application support.
Shared focus on reliability and performance
Our expanded partnership reflects the growing demand for accurate and reliable inertial measurement technologies across Europe. Together, Jewell Instruments and Althen Sensors & Controls combine advanced sensor technology with local technical support, helping you achieve reliable measurements in critical environments.
