To sense shock, vibration, and/or linear motion, accelerometers are beginning to appear in a broad range of new applications. Common types of accelerometers for these applications�various ...

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 ...

One of the most critical decisions in developing random vibration tests also is the most neglected. The location of the control accelerometer is one of the most critical decisions when developing ...
