Kionix is complementing its medium-g digital offerings with the KX220 series of analog accelerometers, offering ±20 g and ±40 g full-scale measurement ranges. These triaxial accelerometers are ...

Quantifying the vibration of industrial machinery and using that information for condition monitoring (CM) has long been an ambitious goal, but also one with significant technical and implementation ...

A new series of analog MEMS accelerometers from Murata, the SCA720, are aimed specifically at electrically controlled suspension (ECS) and engine anti-vibration applications. Measuring 7.0 x 8.6 z 3.3 ...

MEMS (micro electromechanical system) inertial sensor technology provides a major structural shift in mechanical sensing. When the performance meets their needs, system developers welcome trading ...

Last fall, I grabbed a robot arm from Robot Geeks when they were on sale at Thanksgiving. The arm uses servos to rotate the base and move the joints and gripper. These work well enough but I found one ...

In part one of this series, we reviewed the internal structure of a 3-axis high precision MEMS accelerometer. In this second article, we will review how to acquire a good starting dataset to establish ...

NORWOOD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) today announced three-axis, MEMS accelerometers that perform high resolution vibration measurement with very low noise to enable the early ...

This article discusses how to improve tilt measurement accuracy using an accelerometer like a combo part. Electric park brakes (EPBs) are used on passenger vehicles to hold the vehicle stationary on ...
