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 ...

Also known as inertial sensors, accelerometers are critical elements in key applications such as automotive air-bag deployment, smartphone motion tracking, and industrial predictive maintenance. These ...

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 Model JTF accelerometer has been redesigned for additional overload protection to 20 times its range, and frequency ranges have been extended from 0 to 2,400 Hz. The JTF also has a new lightweight ...

Intended for modal analysis, the 3273M2 miniature triaxial accelerometer from Dytran Instruments provides a low-end frequency response of +15%/–10% down to 0.88 Hz, sensitivity of 100 mV/g, and an ...

Inertial navigation systems use information provided by accelerometers and gyroscopes to provide the position and orientation of an object relative to a predetermined origin point, orientation and ...
