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 ...
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 ...
Also known as inertial sensors, accelerometers are critical elements in key applications such as automotive air-bag deployment, smartphone motion tracking, and industrial predictive maintenance. These ...
