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 ...

San Juan Capistrano, Calif. — Endevco Corp. has introduced its model 40366 surface-mount accelerometer with capabilities that are suitable for implantable medical device applications. The miniature ...

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 ...

Weighing 120 mgand operating in temperatures of up to +150C, the Endevco model 12M seriesfeatures the incorporation of Meggitt's Piezite-type P-8 bimorph sensing element, operating in bender mode.This ...

When different laboratories test the same accelerometer, such as the one in your smartphone, they often come up with very different values. There are several possible reasons: Perhaps the axes of the ...

The just-launched Brain Sentry Impact Sensor, which is mounted on sports-related helmets, integrates STMicroelectronics’ MEMS accelerometer to accurately measure acceleration in all directions ...

[Chris Suprock] is interested in using technology to improve your accuracy with a firearm. To that end, he’s using an Accelerometer mounted to a gun to gather feedback about each shot. The hardware ...
