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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Design of the SDI Model 1510 Series incorporates a micromachined variable capacitive sensing element and custom integrated circuit. The accelerometer produces two analog voltages which vary ...

The Model JTF accelerometer has been redesigned for additional overload protection to 20 times its range, and frequency ranges have been extended from 0 to 2,400 Hz. The JTF also has a new lightweight ...
