SAN JOSE, Calif. — A secret side project for a Hewlett-Packard engineer has quietly spawned an ultra-sensitive accelerometer. Now the PC giant hopes to leverage the novel device to propel it into a ...

Kistler announced the availability of its three-component force sensors and piezoelectric accelerometers to meet the rigorous demands of satellite and spacecraft force limited vibration testing (FLV).

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 ...

Just in the past two years, motion sensing technologies have begun appearing everywhere – video consoles, smart phones, TV remote controls and personal training devices – as we geo-tag our cell phone ...

Awide variety of accelerometers has been developed for measuring vibration, shock, and inertial motion. To reduce risk and ensure that meaningful and accurate data is collected, you must understand ...

Bosch Sensortec says it has launched the world’s smallest MEMS accelerometers – the BMA530 and BMA580. BMA530 tracks activities with its step counter and is suitable for wearables, and BMA580 targets ...

Industries and R&D sites depend on sensors to measure, monitor and analyze vibrations. Unfortunately, the best ways to get accurate and repeatable vibration data are not clear to many engineers; they ...
