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 ...

MEMS-based accelerometers are increasingly deployed in harsh environments where mechanical stress is not just expected but constant.

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Performance vs. power dissipation—it’s one of the most delicate tradeoffs for those who develop smart sensors for the ...

Researchers in Stockholm, Sweden have created the world's smallest accelerometer, which measures the force of acceleration, according to new research published in the scientific journal Nature ...

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 ...
