Accelerometers turn motion into measurable signals. From tilt and vibration to g-forces, they underpin countless designs. In this “Fun with Fundamentals” entry, we demystify their operation and take a ...

Designed for measuring vibration on lightweight structures, miniature electronic devices, and a variety of small objects, the Model 27AM1 ISOTRON accelerometer is an extremely small, adhesive-mounted ...

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) accelerometers and vibration sensors represent a rapidly evolving field with significant implications for structural health monitoring, seismic detection, and industrial ...

Researchers have developed new sensors for measuring acceleration and vibration on trains. The technology could be integrated with artificial intelligence to prevent railway accidents and catastrophic ...

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 ...

Industries and R&D sites depend on sensors to measure, monitor and analyze vibrations. Unfortunately, the best ways to get accurate and repeatable vibration data are not clear to many engineers; they ...

An accelerometer-based active vibration-control system for CNC machine tools is designed to improve machining productivity by maximizing material removal rate (MRR), with the result that tool-head ...

TDK Corporation has expanded its high-performance MEMS inertial sensors portfolio with Tronics AXO315 T1, a high-temperature MEMS accelerometer with ±14 g input range and a digital interface for ...

The built-in accelerometer in the iPhone and iPod touch handles many tasks — rotating photos or Web pages when you turn the device, controlling games, and even initiating random searches on some apps.
