Motion parameter transducers encapsulate a broad class of sensors that convert mechanical motion into electrical signals, facilitating quantitative analysis of dynamic systems. Within this category, ...

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, ...

Accelerometers are essential sensors used in a wide range of applications including shock and vibration testing, car safety systems, and today's hand-held consumer devices. Generally, they sense the ...

The LSM6DSV320X is a 6-axis IMU with dual accelerometers and 3-axis gyroscope. The low-g accelerometer handles up to 16 g ...

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 ...

Sept. 3 (UPI) --Engineers in Sweden have developed the world's smallest accelerometer using graphene. The accelerometer could be used to create new wearable technologies for use in medicine, fitness ...

An optomechanical accelerometer that uses light to measure acceleration. Credit: F Zhou/NIST An accelerometer that uses laser light instead of just mechanical strain can register changes as small as ...

This past June saw both the opening of Sensors Expo and the market launch of the sensor-laden Apple iPhone. So it’s not surprising that there’s recently been a flood of sensor product announcements.
