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

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 ...

Meggitt Sensing Systems has announced that the Endevco® 35A miniature triaxial ISOTRON® piezoelectric accelerometer is supporting the high-precision shock and vibration testing of hard drives, ...

Anyone who has performed vibration tests is familiar with accelerometers, which are positioned on the EUT to measure the acceleration relative to the shaker and, most importantly, to find resonances.

With the advent of variable-capacitance (VC) accelerometers and the continued availability of piezoresistive (PR) transducers, engineers now have a wider choice for their measurement needs. But VC ...
