One of the most common transducers used in automotive tests is the accelerometer; it measures forces as well as the amount of vibration experienced by components and systems. Like all things analog, ...

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 ...

This article discusses how to improve tilt measurement accuracy using an accelerometer like a combo part. Electric park brakes (EPBs) are used on passenger vehicles to hold the vehicle stationary on ...

San Juan Capistrano, Calif. — Endevco Corporation has introduced its Model 7285 low-cost piezoresistive accelerometer for vehicle crash, crush zone and impact testing. With a weight of less than 1 ...

A new, high g range capacitive accelerometer has been developed for dynamic and steady-state measurements. The 8324A series K-Beam accelerometer includes two units with a measuring range of ±20g and ...
