One of the most common transducers used in automotive tests is the accelerometer; it measures forces as well as the amount of vibration experienced by components and systems. Like all things analog, ...

Dytran Instruments is pleased to introduce a new general purpose accelerometer for underwater vibration measurements. Model 3217A has a sensitivity of 100 mV/g and was specially designed for ...

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 ...

This article discusses how to improve tilt measurement accuracy using an accelerometer like a combo part. Electric park brakes (EPBs) are used on passenger vehicles to hold the vehicle stationary on ...

Analog Devices’ latest MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) device is an accelerometer for higher accuracy low-g applications. The accuracy, says the supplier, comes from increased temperature ...

A new, high g range capacitive accelerometer has been developed for dynamic and steady-state measurements. The 8324A series K-Beam accelerometer includes two units with a measuring range of ±20g and ...

A new supplier for the accelerometer part in the iPhone 5s could be causing incorrect level and compass measurements in the new device, an issue that was first noticed earlier this month. Both devices ...

When people overextend their step length, it leads to an increase in vertical movement and braking force. The overextension elevates landing impacts, which may increase pain in the knees or lower back ...
