MEMS (micro electromechanical system) inertial sensor technology provides a major structural shift in mechanical sensing. When the performance meets their needs, system developers welcome trading ...

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 ...

There’s a good chance that you use a MEMS accelerometer every single day. It’s the small chip that let your smart phone automatically adjust its screen orientation. They’re great chips, and since they ...

This high-performance dual-axis MEMS accelerometer from Analog Devices can operate at up to 175°C. It is designed for down-hole geological drilling, operating in thin shafts that go down and snake ...

ST has integrated six accelerometers into a 2.5 x 3mm inertial measurement unit for sports wearables. “Capable of measuring events ranging from slight movements to intense impacts with equal accuracy, ...
