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 ...

Measurement Specialties now offers a robust, DC-response accelerometer that operates in temperatures from -55 °C to +170 °C. The new MEMS-based 4604HT features an amplified output as well as critical ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
