One of the most common transducers used in automotive tests is the accelerometer; it measures forces as well as the amount of vibration experienced by components and systems. Like all things analog, ...

How do piezoelectric accelerometers — vibration sensors — work? The force caused by vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the sensor's mass to “squeeze” contained piezoelectric ...

The 5230/5231 series of piezoelectric accelerometers are designed for vibration measurement in the rugged environments of industrial machinery monitoring. The accelerometers incorporate an integral ...

One of the most difficult aspects of selecting an accelerometer for a particular application is interpreting the accelerometer’s specifications. Often you understand your test requirements well but ...

Dytran Instruments is pleased to introduce a new general purpose accelerometer for underwater vibration measurements. Model 3217A has a sensitivity of 100 mV/g and was specially designed for ...

Analog Devices’ latest MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) device is an accelerometer for higher accuracy low-g applications. The accuracy, says the supplier, comes from increased temperature ...

TDK Corporation has expanded its high-performance MEMS inertial sensors portfolio with Tronics AXO315 T1, a high-temperature MEMS accelerometer with ±14 g input range and a digital interface for ...

We barely notice them, but they're one of the most important features buried in the everyday smartphone experience. Accelerometers are devices that can measure acceleration (the rate of change in ...
