Designed for automotive and off-highway testing, the gas-damped model 3711 MEMS dc-response accelerometer provides micro-g resolution and 10,000-g shock survivability. The sensor measures 21.6 x 21.6 ...

The iPhone detects movement and tilting of the handset through its built-in accelerometers. These devices are able to detect movement in six different directions and relay that information to games ...

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 ...

MEMS-based accelerometers are increasingly deployed in harsh environments where mechanical stress is not just expected but constant.

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 ...

A 1-op-amp circuit for processing the signal from a piezoelectric accelerometer. Accelerometers are used in instrumentation applications to measure a change in velocity with respect to time or an ...
