This technical note covers most of the aspects when selecting a piezoelectric accelerometer. The step-by-step guide is intended to explain the sensor options and for a better understanding of the …

Accelerometers are devices that measure acceleration, which is the rate of change of the velocity of an object. They measure in meters per second squared (m/s2) or in G-forces (g).

Accelerometers are offered in a variety of technologies, shapes, sizes, ranges, etc. This article will provide a trail that the user can follow that will lead to the optimum accelerometer for the application. …

Piezoelectric accelerometers measure vibration and shock for a wide variety of applications. They incorporate a piezoelectric sensing element with a crystalline atomic structure which outputs an …

By the end of this lesson, you will understand the advantages and disadvantages inherent in the various mounting methods for your accelerometer or Piezo Velocity sensor.

THE RIGHT ACCELEROMETER implications on the measurement results. The information below may help the readers make the proper accelerometer selection. Let’s start with the basi

At only 15 grams, the ACC103 laboratory accelerometer is ideal for applications in which low weight is critical, such as shake tests and vibration labs. It has a 10 mV/g output and can measure vibrations …
