Dmitry Vasilenko, of Arrow Electronics, provides some design hints to accelerate the mechanical model of an accelerometer. Micro-mechanical systems (MEMS) have become common. They are used for ...

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 ...

Based on a silicon MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) variable-capacitance sensing element, the Type 8315A high-sensitivity, low-noise, single-axis accelerometers from Kistler North America ...

Awide variety of accelerometers has been developed for measuring vibration, shock, and inertial motion. To reduce risk and ensure that meaningful and accurate data is collected, you must understand ...

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 ...
