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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Andover, MA. MEMSIC Inc. today announced a new family of acceleration and tip-over sensor components that includes four new sensors, the MXD6240 and MXD6241AU, MXC6244AU, and MXC6245XU. These new ...
MEMS-based accelerometers are increasingly deployed in harsh environments where mechanical stress is not just expected but constant.
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.
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 ...
