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 ...

“Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology such as accelerometers for measuring acceleration and gyroscopes for measuring angular velocity have been implemented within several related devices ...

Inertial navigation systems use information provided by accelerometers and gyroscopes to provide the position and orientation of an object relative to a predetermined origin point, orientation and ...

Meggitt Sensing Systems has introduced the Endevco model 28959F/28959FV, a portable accelerometer shaker and calibration system with integral signal conditioning, designed to provide both excitation ...
