Tiltmeters with high accuracy and sensitivity are indispensable for various geotechnical applications, including soil deformation monitoring, structural inclination analysis, and seismic activity assessment. This study proposes a novel tiltmeter system utilizing Parallel Dipole Line (PDL) technology, where a diamagnetic graphite cylinder is levitated within a camelback potential field generated by parallel magnetic dipoles. Variations in the vertical position of the graphite cylinder correspond to tilt angles, which are captured by a high-resolution imaging system and processed using a Jetson Nano microcomputer for real-time analysis. Experimental results show that shorter graphite lengths can increase the measurement range. One of the test results is that 6 mm graphite can measure inclination in the range of -1.00000° to +0.99999°. In contrast, longer graphite, such as 12 mm, only reaches a range of -0.60000° to +0.60434°. In addition, the increase in graphite length and the reduction in magnet dimensions significantly help reduce oscillations during measurement, which ultimately improves system stability. The optimized PDL-based tiltmeter is capable of detecting inclination with a high resolution of up to 10⁻⁵ degrees, with critical damping used to eliminate oscillatory interference. These findings confirm that the PDL tiltmeter system offers much better precision, stability, and durability than conventional methods, making it a potential innovative tool for high-resolution geotechnical and structural monitoring.
