Dmitry Vasilenko, of Arrow Electronics, provides some design hints to accelerate the mechanical model of an accelerometer. Micro-mechanical systems (MEMS) have become common. They are used for ...

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 ...

The latest member of Dataforth's SCM5B family of isolated analog signal-conditioning devices is a field-configurable accelerometer input module. Designated the SCM5B48, the module provides excitation ...

Awide variety of accelerometers has been developed for measuring vibration, shock, and inertial motion. To reduce risk and ensure that meaningful and accurate data is collected, you must understand ...

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 ...

Accelerometers are essential sensors used in a wide range of applications including shock and vibration testing, car safety systems, and today's hand-held consumer devices. Generally, they sense the ...

COLUMBIA can offer an extensive range of Force Balance Servo Accelerometers and Inclinometers, designed specifically to provide the user with a variety of sizes, configurations and performance levels ...
