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 ...

Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the University of Rochester have developed an ultrasensitive microsensor accelerometer. Their device uses laser light to gauge ...

The ability to measure, monitor, and analyze vibration is essential to many industries and areas of research & development. Unfortunately, the proper methods for creating an accurate and repeatable ...

This high-performance dual-axis MEMS accelerometer from Analog Devices can operate at up to 175°C. It is designed for down-hole geological drilling, operating in thin shafts that go down and snake ...
